I was never expecting less from this movie it was by far the best from DC It is worth watching

Loved it! I tear up at the No Mans Land sequence. Love Gal Gadot's portrayal.

Awesome story and awesome acting,best movie of 2017!

I enjoy this movie when start to the end this movie make me excite fill love and cry.

This movie was average, at best. Really poor acting on Gal Gadots part. The story was very predictable, CGI was poor, and the story was phoned in. I really couldn't care less about any of the characters, and there actions were incredible illogical. I had hope with a twist at the end that it would get better, but once again, it just fell flat.

I finally watched the new Wonder Woman movie. I must say I'm very impressed. This has to be the best DC adaptation they have made in years. The story was interesting and didn't feel cliche at all. The action was all well choreographed and felt very organic. I really love the character interaction in the film as well. The film really brought to heart what Wonder Woman represented for DC Comics. A great ride overall 9 out of 10.

I love the DC universe and Wonder Woman movie was a revelation for me in superhero movies. Gal Gadot is gorgeous in the image of Diana and Chris Pine in the role of Trevor, also deserves gratitude charming Patty Jenkins who gave us a great story, exciting and instructive story about friendship, peace and love. After each viewing in some moments of the film I couldn't hold back the tears, it is an achievement as actors and Director. Looking forward to the sequel!!!

Looking at these reviews i felt i had to write one myself. All i see is marvel fans saying how bad this film is.Trust me this is a good watch i watched in cinema and at home both times i enjoyed.the beginning is a good introduction of wonder woman and the Amazonians.

If you are looking for a good action film with a good cast and story this is it. The scenery is amazing and the action scenes look amazing there are even funny scenes in this film.

Don't listen to the haters who feel threatened by this film just watch and enjoy as i have and others.

What I surprised to see was the historical revisionism that successfully became ideological essence of the blockbuster entertainment of today!

Diana is the most beautiful girl who can only defeat demons in Nazi-like German military uniforms during the World War I! WW1 Germans are equalised with Nazis in WW2 in this American comic film for Jewish heroism.

The Christian view of the world is quite clear, and the historical view on WWI Germans is as same as WW2 Nazis in films. It seemed to be Anti-Nazism. This is a typical propaganda essence among westernised movies mainly made by Jewish origin filmmakers. Anti-Nazis should not to be anti-Germans.

However, it is just a good entertainment but not a historical text book at all. We can say that this is a successful live-action comic book.

Furthermore, this also can be seemed as a feminist film of today and the ideology became the blockbuster entertainment to spread around the world. This is not a bad thing!

I can't help but wonder if I watched the same film that impressed so many people. As with most DC Comics films, this one was a great disappointment. While Marvel Comics films tend to be satirical and even self-effacing, DC films are pretentious and tedious. Sadly, Wonder Woman was no exception to this rule.

The scripting was totally unimaginative, with dialogue that bordered on infantile. Visually, the landscapes all seemed plastic, with B-movie grade CGI throughout. Even the music was awkward, fighting the dialogue during the more intimate moments and drowning each scene in instrumentals. I found myself doubting whether the director and editor are aware that there doesn't have to be a bombastic or flowery incidental score under everything — it displayed a lack of confidence in the dialogue and acting carrying the scene.

Regarding the acting, both Gadot and Pine gave it their best, struggling with the stilted dialogue and boring, telegraphed story line — but even they couldn't transcend this quagmire. If not for its pretentiousness, this film would have played far better as a comedy, lampooning itself. Instead, it drowns itself in incessant platitudes of women good/men bad, framed within a plebian one-dimensional plot.

Again, I'm at a loss to explain its high marks, other than to ascribe it to the currently trendy political correctness that elevates all patronizing misandry to high art and entertainment.

It's a brand-new month and you know what that means right? Yes, another super hero movie to kick off the summer blockbuster season. This time it isn't Marvel cranking out the comic book, cinematic feature, but their rivals DC studios. With its recent shaky track record, the DC cinematic universe hasn't gotten the best publicity in terms of quality. So, the studio has decided to get the leading lady herself to pave the way. Yes, today's review is on Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. Can this movie break the bad luck streak of DC/WB studios? Robbie K here to share some opinions on the matter, so let's get started, shall we?

LIKES

1. Gal Gadot is incredible and steals the show with her poise, pizazz, and acting talents. A fantastic casting direction that really brings the woman to wonder to life in beauty, ferocity, and bouts of heroism (a.k.a. kicking bad guy butt). Acting, stunts, and an on-point delivery of her lines makes this actress one of the tops in my book!

2. The action is on point (for most of the movie) filled with impressive displays of weaponry, martial arts, and historical warfare. Wonder Woman's battles held such emotion, managing to bring the suspense all while delivering that feel good, post battle high, you might have gotten from reading a comic book. The team brings some fast-paced thrills we have wanted for almost a year and a half.

3. A good representation for girls. I may have already said this, but this movie targets a wide variety of audience members in some form or manner. Yet this reviewer has to give props for the design of a character that is certainly worthy of representing the female super heroes and inspiring the female population that they certainly can do anything.

4. Comedic timing: It's not going to be a super hero movie (at least in this day and age) without some laughs to break up the tension. Wonder Woman continues this trend, filling the void with well-timed one-liners, a few awkward encounters that often deal with sex, and some slap-stick gimmicks that do the job well.

5. Character Development: I know most super hero movies have this element, but there is something about Wonder Woman that stood out to me. This film managed to spin Diana's character development into a roller coaster ride of feelings that almost made me tear up. Her journey to discovering herself and her role into this new world was poetically portrayed, using multiple angles to get the job done. It could have also been due to the powerful soundtrack, the visual effects, or maybe Gadot's acting, but it really worked for me.

6. Fast Pace: We all know those movies that drag (and yes, I'm talking much of DC's library). Not the case for this film. The nearly 150-minute run time flew by for much of the movie having me at one point saying, "Dang, it's already been 90 minutes." Not something I often say.

DISLIKES:

1. Unoriginality: You'll find that Wonder Woman shares a lot with Captain America: First Avenger. The set-up, setting, and build up almost matching outside of the weapon of choice and martial arts moves. Certainly, not the biggest limitation, but something that others have been bothered by.

2. Almost pointless crew: The crew that joins Diana held such promise in the picture, but it was dropped so hard in this movie. Outside of Chris Pine, the other members do little for the overall mission outside of a few throws, some "tracking" and mainly comedic relief. There were hints at character development and deeper dynamics, but they fizzled out faster than sparkler at 4th of July. I know, this movie is about Wonder Woman, but why even include these guys if that was the goal.

3. Preachy: Some reviews state the whole feminism/males are pigs is overdone, and to an extent I agree. Yet the bigger dislike was the preachy monologues that sometimes plagued this film. A few times the heat of the moment was lost in a display of self-reflection, which is great, but not in the midst of a battlefield. Some of these moments also had that eye-rolling factor for me.

4. Overuse of CGI: I like special effects, I like stunts, but I don't like overuse of a gimmick. The slow-motion interludes during the action scenes added some cool emphasis to Wonder Woman's skills (alongside some cool finishing moves). Somewhere along the production, someone got a little trigger happy with the effect and used a little too much for me, and soon started disrupting the cool stunts they had Gal do. In addition, there were some special effects that were a bit cheesy and took the edge off of Wonder Woman. Learn from Michael Bay people, too much of special effects makes for many jokes.

5. The ending: Don't turn away, hear me out. The ending is great on many levels (emotional, prowess, role model, and morals). However, it lost the momentum the first few fights had with them, trading suspense for flashy special effects, drawn out banter, and unimpressive choreography. Sort of felt like the ending to X-men apocalypse where the bad guys bark was worse than his bite.

The VERDICT:

Wonder Woman delivers on many levels and breaks the mediocre displays that DC has cranked out over the last year. It's emotional, it's dynamic, it's fun, and it provides a solid role model for admirable heroes. I feel the movie met most of my expectations and I was happy with the overall product. It's far from perfect though, and still has a few things to tighten up (like developing other characters, balancing the CGI use, and keeping the momentum going). Still, I have to recommend this one for a theater visit, especially you comic lovers out there.

All those ratings have got to be fake. I can and will not believe that most people ACTUALLY thought this movie was good.

It took literally until one hour and 14 minutes, half way through the whole film, to FINALLY get some action sequences that are longer than 5 seconds! Everything beforehand is boring preparation garbage and stupid dialogues by uninteresting, cliché characters nobody cares about mixed with some dad-jokes even immature teenagers would heartily yawn at.

The end was also really, really cheesy, completely "ex machina" and bad... seriously, who wrote this crap?

Compared to other action hero flicks this falls super flat on all fronts: Uninspired story and antagonists, far too little action, too much blabbering and cringey PEGI-13 fillers and jokes.

2/10, this movie is utter trash so don't waste your time.

Patty Jenkins' 'Wonder Woman' movie begins with a rocky, uneven start. But this very flawed pace allows the origin story of the amazonian warrior mature in a compelling build- up, and eventually navigate towards the rest of her story in a riveting seismic progression. It gathers an affectionate sentimentality that sustains its potency even amidst the imposing explosive sequences that often triumph to take the audience's attention away from the oddly satisfying distraction, that is Gal Gadot. There are these resonating anthems that remain ablaze throughout the film's 140-minute duration: love and peace, sacrifice and courage, and while it gets extremely preachy sometimes, the narrative rarely gets boring. Jenkins' take on the genre doesn't abandon the idea of terror, and mass destruction, but it singularly escapes the confines of superhero clichés that eliminate its players' moral form. In 'Wonder Woman', Diana Prince's humanity is held by Gadot's portrayal with a bracing commitment, something she never loses even when confronted with the deceptive appeal of evil and darkness. Her heroic verve gets an unexpected reinforcement from Chris Pine's Steve Trevor, with whom she shares a surprisingly inherent chemistry. This is the first DC film in a very long time, to ever sustain such visceral distinction, a visual extravaganza brimming with heart and reason.

Diana Prince's story takes us to a mysterious island known as Themyscira, hidden by Zeus in a protective dome of dim and mist, far from the grasp of humanity. She grows to believe that it is her sacred duty to protect her world, not knowing such 'world' will include what is beyond the clouds. But when the first man arrives in a suspicious water- crash landing, she expands her understanding and begins to welcome the idea of defending whoever needs help in the other side. But this eagerness barely entirely rests on a moral responsibility; she believes that Ares, the God of War, and her inevitable nemesis, is what causing the war waged by humans, and she needs to kill him in order to restore peace to both worlds. In one spine-chilling moment within her breathtakingly choreographed fight sequence with Ares, Diana rises from a fall, and virtually carries out her meteoric ascent, a symbolic assumption of her superhero status.

But in spite of the amount of physical tension and visual explosion, Jenkins balances the flavor by injecting humor and romance, utilizing them even in places where gripping action sequences are imminent. Chris Pine shines in his own moments, a remarkable feat for a character in a saga that seems to underscore women empowerment. There is a powerful moment where he grapples for words to ask for Diana's help to win the war; he practically breaks down, a stirring and moving scene to behold. Part of the film's colossal allure is its heart--it never loses it, doesn't intend to, and it grows to more awe-inspiring forms as it reaches a resonating, albeit predictable, resolution.

It is ironic to think that Diana Prince isn't human, but appears to be the most one, when compared with her colleagues in the looming 'Justice League' film. In the end, 'Wonder Woman' isn't a film free of blemishes as it still stumbles upon political truths it rarely gets justified, and minor expositions it doesn't seem interested to shed light on. But it has soul, humor, and wonder-- a narrative spectacle one seldom finds in a film of its sort.

Last evening I saw Wonder Woman and it met and exceeded my expectations marvelously! Gal Gadot shines on screen as the Amazon Princess with an excellent supporting cast(The chemistry between her and co lead Chris Pine is wonderful!). You could very easily enjoy this film without seeing any of the previous films or will realize it as the best of it's franchise to date! Have no fear that this will be boring because of the period the film takes place in,it matters not. Creators of the film benefit greatly by staying true to the source material that has encapsulated audiences since Diana Prince's debut in comics over seven decades ago. As well as DC comic's own Geoff Johns joining the production team! Wonder Woman is done justice as she serves Justice by the amazing combat Sequences shot by Director Patty Jenkins and the score compliments the screen accordingly!

I don't need humor in a film about a hero , nor do enjoy it when it's forced into a story. The humor in Wonder Woman is well placed and most called for and appreciated. The same goes for the action in this film it is not overdone nor is it to much or to little it is just right. . This movie benefits from an exciting story, heroic characters that are enjoyable and most credible vile villains. I want to see it again and can't wait to see Wonder Woman in Justice League this November!

Wonder Woman - Saying that this is the best of the new DC films isn't exactly glowing praise. Saying that it now currently holds my highest score of the year, however, would definitely qualify.

The dramatic and comedic tones were perfectly balanced. Such a glaring omission from the previous DC offerings was any real feeling of levity. Here, jokes were well timed and delivered even better. Gal Gadot and Chris Pine's chemistry was automatic, making these back-and-forths all the more believable. And Lucy Davis steals the show as Pine's secretary.

There is something to be said for the theme song of this movie. Do me a favor and try to hum the theme to the Avengers. How about Captain America? The most recent Spiderman, maybe? I might not be able to pick any of those out of a lineup. Wonder Woman's theme is visceral and will be immediately recognizable after you've heard it. It's featured in key moments of the film, adding to the weight of the already powerful action.

Similar to most of the Marvel films, this one has a weak villain. A German officer is presented as the antagonist, but I felt more like it was just war in general that they were fighting against. I definitely liked the payoff, but he was underwhelming as an adversary.

The only other negative I can think of is that there are some moments of wonky special effects. It took me back to The Matrix Reloaded where Neo is just a computer animated cartoon knocking around a dozen Agent Smiths with a stick. The effects seemed jarringly dated at times.

DC was in an absolute tailspin up to this point. The last three films received critic ratings of 55%, 27%, and 25%. This could have been the nail in the coffin. Instead, it was an absolute B12 shot to the brand and the studio itself. Box office hauls of future DC films will no doubt be bigger because of this movie. And to think I almost stayed away from this one based on Batman v Superman alone. Now, Wonder Woman is the only reason I'll keep DC in my lineup going forward. 8.75/10.

I am really losing hope in everything that I used to believe in, in general, thee days. This load of crap is rated 8.5? What the hell?

The movie is so weak, It's like the movie makers don't even care about anything anymore other than completely depend on CGI and good effects. Like they KNOW we are that dumb and will just take it up. The story was god awful, stupid even by superhero comic standards and the acting was atrocious.

There was literally ZERO character development for any of them. No depth. It just all was whipped along as if for the sake of completing the movie. None of the characters were likable and relatable on a psychological level. Comic relief was forced and did not make us laugh. Watching Diana do her innocent act was totally unbelievable and as fake as it can get.

I fell asleep. My girlfriend well asleep and my friend who is generally very tolerating of dumb movies EVEN he fell asleep.

But that's okay, not a lot of movies are necessarily good. But what breaks my heart and trust in the movie world is that this is getting so much attention and respect with a stellar rating. It's an insult to some of the other gems people have produced to see films like these get ratings similar to theirs.

The DCEU was off to a really rough start. The previous three installments had so much potential but didn't deliver and disappointed me, and probably a lot of fans. But as for "Wonder Woman"... this movie is one of the best comic book movies I have ever seen!

The movie does a great use of its nearly 2 and a half hours running time to show us Diana's origins and how she became who she is. From the island of Themyscira, the Amazonian princess finds herself in London, in the period of the first World War, alongside heartthrob pilot/spy Steve Trevor - and his friendly secretary Etta Candy - where she has to face a mad scientist (Doctor Poison), the general of the German Army (General Erich Ludendorff) and even bigger threats.

And while the villains might not be the strongest thing about this movie, Gal Gadot will steal your heart as Wonder Woman, as she is charming and bad ass, with the performances of Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Lucy Davis and others being also noteworthy. But it is Patty Jenkins's direction and the script from the writing team that makes this movie set the bar high for future female-lead (and male-lead) comic book movies.

Filled with heart, humour, action, some romance and war drama, this movie is not just a game-changer for DC's shared movie universe. It's a game-changer for this genre as a whole.

WONDERful! No seriously, this is an excellent film! And I'm just not talking about the superhero genre. DC finally hit a homer with this one. This film also serves as evidence that Zack Snyder can WRITE a great story but should probably stay out of the director's chair. Warner Bros. and Ratpac Dune's Wonder Woman is the superhero film we needed. Trailing so far behind the Marvel brand and film quality, DC needed to produce a film that would make up for Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad AND catch up to Marvel. Seemingly setting out to accomplish the impossible, this film exceeded all measurable expectations and provided a comprehensive cinematic experience. With many themes, this film hits on many topics and does so with incredible precision and elegance. It's almost as if this film is an extension of Diana Prince herself. Never addressed or referenced as Wonder Woman actually, Diana Prince's origin story is powerful and ever so apropos in today's socio-political climate. If only we could all have the courage, compassion, and determination that Wonder Woman embodies and represents.

Ever since her creation in 1941 by psychologist William Marston, Wonder Woman has always been treated the best when all pre-existing inhibitions typically added to a female character in a "man's" role are removed, allowing the feminist ethos at her core to shine and erupt with unbridled passion and strength. Among other traits, the chief characteristic that separates her from other superheroes in both the Marvel and DC universes respectively is--no, not her gender--it is her ability to integrate truth, justice, compassion, and courage in everything she does to protect the planet entrusted to her people by the Greek gods. The key to understanding Wonder Woman is not through her brute strength or supernatural powers, but through her love and compassion for innocent people and her own integrity. Rarely has any film truly given women (or anyone, for the matter) a strong female protagonist who does not pander but exhibits excellence in well-developed strength of character and a complete eruption of the fantasies of many women to rise up to serve and protect. It would have been far too easy to sell Diana Prince as a vengeful women out to destroy men or seek revenge for the destruction that has befallen the planet; but no, that is not the Diana we see. We see a heroine of others--a completely unselfish hero who is of earth. Being of the earth is truly what separates her from someone like Super Man. Sure, some strong female characters from with the world of comics, literature, theatre, TV, or film have demonstrated strong characteristics and have been leaders; but Wonder Woman sands alone as a film that provides audiences with a female protagonist who is not merely a leader, but the engineer--the author--of her own destiny and story.

Why does this film work so well??? After all, that is the question you are likely asking yourself after so many DC flops (note: that does not count the Burton or Nolan films). The short answer is that Snyder was NOT in the driver's seat on this ride; however, there is more to it than that. Snyder's touch is certainly evident in many scenes (especially the action sequences); furthermore, he was greatly instrumental in the overall structure, but he took a backseat to the driver of this vehicle. His approach was important in the design of the car, and even building it, but when it came time to take it for a spin, he turned the steering wheel over to Director Patty Jenkins. Films featuring strong female protagonists most often seem to fair better when there is a women at the helm. And Wonder Woman is a testament to that observation. Whereas a male director would have likely spent some time sexualizing Diana, Jenkins spends the time on her courage and compassion. Instead of focusing on the terrain of Diana's mystical home beautifully appointed with white cliffs and sapphire water or spending time on her sleek blade or even her trademark lasso of truth, Jenkins spends a significant amount of screen time on the terrain of Diana's face. A face that communicates the heart, mind, and soul of Diana. Instead of a face displaying anger or disgust at the world of men, her face is often bright, hopeful, containing a winning smile with eyes overflowing with optimism. In terms of the production design itself, it only bares hints of Snyder's penchant for beautiful music videos; the production design is one that takes itself seriously, but in the perfect amounts. Although the film is quite dark, there are sufficient moments of levity.

Perhaps you're a stereotypical dude who does not care for films that feature female protagonists and feministic themes. No fear. Wonder Woman is actually a World War I film disguised as a superhero movie. As much as Wonder Woman works as an exceptional superhero movie, it is equally an impressive World War I film. Taking place in the days leading up to Armistice Day, this film displays the atrocities of war and the determination of both sides to win. You will find yourself in the trenches in France and Belgium with the Allied forces who, against all odds, are determined to defeat the enemy in order to stop genocide and widespread devastation. Placing Wonder Woman amidst the warriors of earth, connects her to humanity in ways that most superheroes cannot. Fighting for what you believe in is a major theme in this film. Some of the best war movies are those that "show don't tell." And Wonder Woman certainly shows what war really looks like instead of talking about it as some abstract concept or spending time in diplomacy. In fact, diplomacy is thrown out the window, and Diana lays the need to fight on the hearts of the bureaucratic leaders and soldiers alike. Pick up your sword and fight. Don't just sit idly by while humanity is destroyed.

There's a lot that went into "Wonder Woman"; it's partially a romantic comedy, coming-of-age story, period action/superhero movie, but maybe above all, a love story. Diana Prince gears up ultimately out of love - which doesn't sound like something that'd fit very well in a war movie. Part of the reason this movie is so good is that it had big boots to fill. The DC movies haven't been stellar up to this point, and their inherent dreariness hasn't helped matters. And here's a movie with competent direction, gorgeous visuals and a lead actress that's fully up to the challenge. Gal Gadot instills in her character honor, innocence, and the necessary color to really bring a comic book movie to the screen.

In other words, it's everything I was hoping for in a Wonder Woman film. It doesn't feel like it was ground out of a sausage factory, and really manages to do everything right. Just to give context, this is coming from a guy who's pretty burnt out on the genre.

I loved this movie.

8/10

Just watched the first show and everybody started clapping when the credit started to roll in the end. That says a lot about a movie.

Many of us had doubt when Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman, and she proved the worth. What an amazing cast! Hollywood is full of beautiful actresses, but Gal also has a great personality which resonates with her character very well. She is strong as well as funny. Chris Pine turned out to be the perfect sidekick and love interest of Diana. He has this old classic Hollywood look. I am hoping we will see more of Connie Nelson and Robin Wright's character in the next venture.

I don't want to go further into screenplay. It has its tiny flaws, but we have seen much worse in recent times. Many people might argue why the WWI? Well, the core of the movie is not the war, but the darkness inside us that causes the war. You can easily relate it to today's narrative.

I enjoyed the movie through and through. Finally a quality superhero movie from DC after Batman Trilogy. You go Gal!

It's just plain old boring. 2 hours of talking, 9 minutes of action with bad cgi. Predictable dialogue, predictable story, cringe-worthy "jokes" about penises. How this got an 8.4 rating I do not know. Best Super-Hero movie of the year? Doubtful, Logan is a much better movie than this.

Save your time and watch Risky Business featuring Tom Cruise instead.

Seriously, what a disappointment. First of all the story and plot could have played out interestingly, if our main character wasn't an imbecile who hasn't hit puberty yet. Seriously how naive can an Amazonian be? She had almost no understanding of the World around her. I know they tried to make it obvious she was a stranger to the World she just entered, but for f***'s sake they didn't have to make her stupid. Her "I don't fit in this World and I don't know the norms" demeanor was cringe worthy on the worst level. She didn't even have much sign of a character development, I couldn't tell much difference between the imbecile that left Themyscira and the imbecile that flew out to the clichéd setting sun. I can't tell if Zack Snyder was being sloppy with his script or director Patty Jenkins was the one who gave sloppy direction. Gal Gadot gave at least a decent performance in spite of her uninspired character. Speaking of characters, all the main characters were stereotypes. The good guys were good, the bad guys were bad. It was like watching an awful Disnéy movie. I know it has to be brain dead to please the mass audience, but they didn't have to make it that blatantly simple. Oh, the evil "Germans" gave such poor impressions of being German, with that budget they could at least have had the decency to hire some German actors and let them speak German. But no, they have to speak English with a cringe worthy accent because Americans are too lazy to read subtitles.

Speaking of budget how poorly can fight scenes be choreographed? How poorly can such an expensive movie use such bad camera angles in front of something as simple as a green screen? They were also poorly edited. If you want a good example of a great fight scene choreography, look at Kill Bill Vol. 1. Kill Bill Vol. 1 fight scenes had good camera angles, great choreography, outstanding editing, spectacular stunts and intensity. Wonder Woman fight scenes lacked all of that. Kill Bill Vol. 1 whoops Wonder Woman with only a $30 million budget. For the $149 million budget the special effects weren't even that impressive to look at either. To make it worse, they filmed them in slow motion (maybe because they were too lazy to choreograph any fight scenes so they had to make them overlong? Maybe also to compensate for the sluggish plot progression?). Not to forget about the s***** generic jokes and gags that are apparently now mandatory in a politically correct blockbuster. After Batman V Superman I was really looking forward to see what they would do with Wonder Woman's origin, since I thought Batman V Superman was fantastic and Suicide Squad wasn't so shabby. But what we got is an imbecilic main character, sluggish plot progression, poor character development, lazy story, cringe worthy fight scenes, poor camera angles, so-so special effects, mind numbing gags and jokes and an uninspired climax (obviously ripping off Captain America). I'm really tempted to call this movie a steaming pile of turd. Oops, already did.

2/10

I went to the theater with very low expectations after seeing the trailers, despite the extremely positive reviews and scores both here and at Rotten Tomatoes. I am deeply amazed anyone could give this garbage more than 2 stars out of 10. The acting is terrible, jokes are awkward, CG is the worst I've seen in years. Even 20 years old movies are better on that front. Almost every scene is with extreme DOF and all characters look like cut out and placed in fake and badly rendered environments. The lighting is totally off. The dialog is so horrible. I've read opinions this movie is much better that Suicide Squad. To me SS is in a different league. It is entertaining and the love story between Harley Queen and Joker is enough to make the whole movie. Wonder Woman is even worse than Batman vs Superman, which is one of the most boring movies I've ever watched.

This was a very bad movie. DC has another stinker on its hands. Most people are going to see it because the trailer was fantastic. The movie, however is not. It's just absolutely absurd. The SJW, feminist nonsense is just over the top. Gal Gadot is a terrible actress. The battle scenes are just garbage, as well as its treatment of the conflict and resolution. It's over the top absurd. How most of the professional reviewers haven't called it out is unreal. If you're a history major, interested in history, you're going to hate this movie and its message. It's just dumb. Wonder Woman basically has the same mentality as Emily Blunt's character in Sicario, and it's just as absurd.

It's not a good movie. I can't recommend it.

Not gonna lie, when I first saw the Wonder Woman trailer, I was like, oh dear, hear comes another disaster of DC films. I truly had no faith in DC after the three bad movies that came before it. So I went into the cinema expecting another Zack 'Slimer' film. OH MY GOSH, was that a treat for the eyes. Not only ere the visuals and soundtrack score on point, but the characters were likable and the acting was really good. I 101% recommended watching this film. So much happens that is just amazing. Thank you, DC. You have restored my faith in your movies. :)

This movie was amazing!! I watched an early screening and can say it was mind blowing. Patty Jenkins is an amazing person!! This movie has all Drama, Comedy and most of all amazing action with amazing effects. Gal Gadot gave an amazing performance and Steve Trevor was magnificent. After this movie, I can say DCEU is back on track.

After 2h21 min of a awful movie I have to tell you: DON'T GO. American super production full of mistakes! No moment good to share! Don't go ! Bad actors, bad special effects, bad movie compare to expectations. If I was not able to drink during the projection I would have left after 10 min. I hated this movie and I had to share it so you: don't spoil your time.

I was very excited to see this given all the hype and positive reviews. Not to mention my girlfriend wanted to see it, and there's not many she actually wants to see.

I doubt you can imagine the level of disappointment I felt by the time it was over. And I honestly have no idea why so many people think it's so amazing.

WWI was a huge tragedy, but the first war that was very well documented. And I would have thought that if they had picked that for a setting, that there could have been some semblance of realism somewhere. Not to mention some way of involving her in events that actually, or at least, might have happened. So maybe that's nitpicking. But from start to finish, the plot in general had holes big enough to drive a warship through.

I can't really comment on the acting as the script was so bad I don't think anyone could have saved it.

It would have also helped if it would have had a great, or even good antagonist. But the villains here got so little screen time, they never felt even a little threatening.

A good supporting cast could have made it better as well. But they too seemed to get no character development, and didn't seem to have too much of a reason to even be there, aside from the odd bit of comic relief and to remind us of how gorgeous Wonder Woman is.

Technically, there was nothing special about it. The CGI was nothing special and the editing left me wondering how much had been cut out.

On the plus side, and maybe the only positive about the whole movie, was that Gal Gadot looked great as Wonder Woman. But really, the only reason I can think of for all the glowing reviews, is that people love watching a hot woman kicking ass and taking names (and she didn't actually take that many names...but she did kick a lot of ass though)

And in case you're curious, my girlfriend liked it a whole lot less than me.

Gal Gadot performance is laughable, very cliché dialogue ruins the movie. The plot the story is just terrible and the whole thing is just unrealistic for a superhero movie. Gal Gadot overdoes it and is trying too hard, a great shame really, way over-hyped and a total let down. DC extended universe really do struggle at making films, trailer is very misleading, the film is discombobulated and doesn't flow well at all. Even suicide squad was better than this joke. Movie way too long for what it is, which leads to all this unnecessary dragging out of the movie, could've been done at least half hour quicker, all the audience was thinking was when does this end and how do I get this 140 minutes of my life back.

I have to write this.because its rating is overrated

The movie is way off as i expected Story is dull. everything is off Trust me you better stay at home

I never yawn before watching movies And i never trust ratings anymore after this

This is my first review in this website and by now you know why I'm here i couldn't not review this movie, it was very bad, extremely boring, Not enough action, too much talking, the ending is the worst, utterly predictable.

Too many things to write about, bad acting, they tried to add some humor to the movie but no one laughed.

I think they knew that the movie will suck thats why the high reviews are there.

Not sure why everyone in the media were praising this movie. It's way over-hyped and overrated. The first 30 was BORING.

Even the main actress was terrible. Seems like everyone in the media is hyping this women. Gal Gadot is a wannabee Angelina Jolie, but uglier, cannot act, sucks at action scenes, etc etc.

All she does is try to look pretty. But she cannot pull it off. This movie was just terrible from start to finish. Especially the story.

I tried not to doze off during the movie but couldn't help it. I eventually left the movie half-way through and decided to wait for the next Spidermen showing.

Again, this movie is garbage. The only reason why everyone in the media is rating the movie and the actress so high is because of where she is from.

Normally i would have given a 5 or 6 but taking in consideration the high rate, i am giving a 3. Boring "action" Movie, not funny, not dramatic, not a Wonder Movie. Due to high rating my expectations were very high and it ended in an average Movie. Two hours wasted. I Think 'imdb administrators should Review their policies or rules as the rating in IMDb is becoming untrustable. I see many awesome Movies rated as 7 or below and then, things like this Movie, rated more then 8? I like some Bollywood Movies but is very hard to find a good one based on score, all of them are above 8. Please IMDb, be awesome as you were Before ...

Who doesn't love a girl power action film done well? This was kick ass. In a cheesy and wonderfully fantastical way. The action sequences were great. I loved WW in every scene ... 10/10 entertainment. My only wish was to see more colour and less of the British dullness. But yeah wow. A lot of fun .

the same old story told again and again. I think the whole movie is very predictable and you know exactly whats going to happen. This lame story has been used over and over several times in other movies. they just added effects and voila you got a cash cow. If you are in to this fantasy maybe you will find it entertaining but its forgettable.

Wow Wonder Woman just blew me away. The casting was great especially Gal Gadot, Cris Pine, Robin Wright and Connie Nielsen. And also, the decision to use WW1 backdrop and how well it was portrayed was just perfect.

The movie has a raw feel to it which makes it extra special. Not a moment will go by where you'll think they tried too hard to fit in the humor, it all comes as natural as natural can be. There is a lot of little moments in the movie that can be appreciated like for example the dancing in midst of war, the romance between Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor. Moreover, the action alone can be a driving factor, which makes me want to watch this movie again and again. Its one like, that we've never seen before.

Yes, this movie is not perfect, it has few, a few CGI issues which I think all big action movies have in common (including Marvel movies as well), however, with Wonder Woman its handled really well.

I honestly appreciate the hard work and passion that went behind making this movie possible. Some of the people to credit will be Petty Jenkins (wonderful director), Zack Snyder (for having good vision for these movies) and the screen writers. Wonder Woman is a "mustsee" movie on big screens.

I mean, even if someone liked this god awful movie, you still can't proclaim it's "The best superhero movie!" and "it's better than The entire MCU movie collection". Don't make your reviews so obviously fake, especially when you're posting from an account that you just opened.

As for the movie - just skip it. Gal Gadot's charm in the interviews and talk shows does not translate to the big screen. Any woman with a pretty face can recite lines. Her performance was generic at best. The entire plot was shallow, paint-by-numbers, and the jokes were cringeworthy.

I really wanted DCEU to succeed, to have another cinematic world in submerge in. They may make some money and have their army of loyal fans rabidly defending them, but in the end, the quality of these movies is really, really low. Even Thor 2 had a more coherent story and more entertaining dialogues.

I went to go see this movie with very high expectations, and it really brought me down. I was expecting this movie to be better than batman vs superman and suicide squad combined. Not to mention how this movie copied captain America the first avenger in a lot of ways. Wonder Woman's origin story was very boring and didn't make any sense for me. I think this is D.C trying to copy marvel from how much success they have had. Overall i found this movie as a huge disaster and a very big let down.

Wonder Woman is a superhero film starring Gal Gadot in the title role and the fourth installment in the DC Extended Universe. Directed by Patty Jenkins (2003's Monster), the film not only redeems the DC Universe of some of its previous missteps, but also breathes some new life into the superhero franchise as a whole.

In 1918, the Amazonian princess Diana (Gal Gadot) trains with her fellow warrior sisters on the isolated island nation of Themyscira. One day, an American pilot named Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crash lands near the island. After being rescued by Diana, Steve tells her and the other Amazonians of the outside world and of a "war to end all wars" currently being waged by the human race. Refusing to allow the death and carnage to continue, Diana decides to leave with Steve and fight alongside him to hopefully put a stop to the evil people responsible for this war.

Featuring a well paced plot and some creatively choreographed action scenes, Wonder Woman is exactly the type of movie that the DC Universe has needed for some time, considering some of the poor creative decisions that were made in its three predecessors. There was also a good balance of humour scattered throughout the story, very much in the vein of some Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, but never so much that it feels forced and tacked on at the last minute. Gal Gadot's performance in the eponymous role is great, her acting range has improved significantly since Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. My only real complaint is that the film does follow a typical "superhero origin story" format and does little to detract from that. However, considering how interesting the main character is, this does not draw away too much enjoyment from the overall film.

I rate it 8.5/10

This was absolutely amazing. They hardly gave anything away in the trailer! The actors where amazing,the story line was well thought out.I haven't watched a good movie in a long time and this was worth the wait. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I feel like it will appeal to a lot of people from different backgrounds

While the action in this movie was admittedly fun, not much else in this movie impressed me. The writing was truly horrible, cliché and very predictable. The acting was unimpressive. The plot was loose and poorly developed. The villains were a question mark. All characterisation seemed to be either absent or based on singular traits, therefore arousing no emotions or empathy. The romance seemed forced. The ending was similar to Batman v/s Superman. There was too much CGI in the latter half of the movie, and it was pretty obvious. Perhaps the only other redeeming factor is that the music score was pretty great.

Wow, great story and acting from the top billed talent. Gal Gadot and Chris Pine steal the show and make this thoroughly enjoying. I was fortunate enough to see this in a nice theatre and this film was very impressive, great effects, nice soundtrack and great direction. Personally I would have picked the second war to set this story to, but that is my only complaint. Great film.. go watch it!

Having become mightily bored by the glut of formulaic American super hero movies, with their incoherent plots, appalling dialogue, and suspect morality, only ever partially redeemed by their creative visuals and incredible special effects, I had no desire to subject myself to yet another. But the weather was so hot today I whisked my ten year old nephew to the only 'family' movie in our local air conditioned cinema. Immediately this new world was a visual treat, and the necessary background to WW unfolded like a Greek myth. A few hints of the Amazonian women swaggering like chaps in their training camp, and a couple of corny lines from WW love interest Chris Pine delivered in the expository style early on started to eat away at my disbelief, but these minor grumbles didn't portend and the movie grew in drama, spectacle, tension and intensity. My young companion turned to me saying 'this movie is amazing', and I agree. Gal Gadot and Pine are both credible actors (it's not his fault he's too pretty to be a 'real' hero) and they are well served by an above average script (especially for this kind of movie). David Threwlis brings serious acting chops to the table as expected, but the revelation is Lucy Davis, whose comedic sidekick could carry a show of her own. The audience loved her, and laughed along at every nuance. Her charisma bounced out of the screen and reminded me of the superb character actors of the old studios in the decades before the end of that system; e.g. Eve Arden, Margaret Rutherford, Mary Wickes, Joan Blondell et al. Stardom awaits. I won't overplay the feminist/girl power angles, but if my ten year old nephew loved it as he did, then I can confidently say most young boys will too. Drag them there, the girls too! It's a joy.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie so highly praised by professional critics for its good intentions and important PC issues, yet unconcerned with the standard aspects of quality movies such as plot, pacing, internal logic, originality and all those other complicated things that get in the way good ratings. Oddly enough, there are lots of movies like Wonder Woman. For example, The Care Bears movies. Both Wonder Woman and the Care Bears movies are brimming with good moral lessons on important topics such as equality, love, and overcoming adversity, but for some reason Wonder Woman gets 92% on RT whereas the average Care Bears movie hovers around the 70% mark. So why does Care Bears only get 70%? Easy answer: these movies are dumb and conveniently simplistic. They are made for the IQ of small children where story logic and common sense aren't that important. But here is the surprise. Wonder Woman isn't concerned with these aspects either!

So I could really go into this if I wanted to. I could talk about how Wonder Woman unsuccessfully copies Captain America: First Avenger as a template. I could talk about how there are roughly a dozen convenient moments where things just show up at the perfect moment in the most obvious of circumstances. How all the villains are morons and all the allies fill pointless roles for the sake of PC whatnot... I could do this, but I'm not going to, because it would be the entire movie. Now, I will say that Wonder Woman is mostly entertaining if you are willing to not think about it with even the tiniest drop of scrutiny. Otherwise it poofs into the air like powdered sugar. I actually wanted Wonder Woman to be a great movie, but its just so obviously dumb that you can't ignore its moronic script. At the same time, Wonder Woman is relatively entertaining thanks mostly to Gal Gadot if you have to sit through it, but it is a silly movie.

Insanely amateur writing, directing and cgi. completely miscast. Gal has very limited range and seems more like a privileged catwalk model with two facial expressions and no muscular definition, than an Amazonian warrior. She will get away with this due to the fact that mediocrity often receives high praise nowadays as people demand more polish and less substance. Shows like the X factor are no doubt partially responsible.

The 3 main villains have no depth and deliver their lines abysmally. The director and producers must be to blame for at least some of this.

Chris Pine, whom I usually quite like, was pretty pointless and unnecessary.

The story is such a pool of bile that its impressive only for it's terribleness. It is a twisted wreck of clichés the like of which we HAVE seen before, only maybe not quite this bad!

I write this as a pro equality male with no anti feminist agenda and am honestly disappointed and annoyed that a movie that could have been a great vehicle to bring a heroine with a message of hope to the big screen to counteract all the recent dark and testosterone ridden nonsense, has turned out to be a pink tractor with no wheels and an exhaust that spews bull's faeces

It this is the kind of movie that is getting more positive than negative reviews on sites like metacritic and rotten tomatoes, then I am glad to consider myself out of touch with the critics.

May whatever god you believe in, have mercy on your soul as humanity degrades around you!

I can't believe how bad this is. I mean. They've reached a new low.

My god such a huge mess like other female lead movies like resident evil,Electra,cat woman.Nothing but a feminism propaganda. Just random made-for-trailer tiny scenes that add to nothing, have zero depth and don't make up a coherent plot. Wall-to-wall inappropriate songs that come at random times. Boring plot (if you can even call it that), boring and indistinguishable flat characters.There's no depth and no story. If you've seen the trailers, you basically saw all the one-liners and "money shots".Talk about corny jokes, this movie is full of them. The story is so predictable and the characters are not good at all

The movie shows us the story of Princess Diana before we all know her as the wonder woman. All was well in her place when one day she came in contact with an air fighter and knows that there is more in this world than her place so she goes forward to fulfill her destiny.

The story line was excellent the perfect plot executed really well. Maybe a little lengthy in some places but it was compromised with all those funny lines. At the beginning I was hesitant to watch this movie after my horrible experience with Batman vs Superman but this turned out to be excellent. While seeing this movie I forgot it was a DC movie felt more like it was a Marvel movie because usually a Marvel movie turns out to be so good. The ending of the movie was unpredictable and good. Gal Gadot did a perfect job as the wonder woman hats off to her. Looking forward to the DC movie Justice league with great expectations.

Yes I would recommend everyone to watch this movie do not miss this.

My Rating 10/10

Reading the reviews here. Either they are bowing down to the movie or just hating blindly. Not sure how many have actually seen it. Very good movie after all the disappointment from the past DCEU movies.

Seeing all the trailers and featurettes, very little was left for imagination, but those didn't disappoint. The movie is about the journey of a demigod from Themyscira, where it's all bright and shiny to the real world, which is torn by war, greed, hatred and darkness. Diana walks in as the light.

Getting her influence from Donner, Patty Jenkins got it right. What it means to be a hero, what does it mean to inspire..and the quest for the Amazon beauty to become the light in the darkness. Strength, sorrow, motivation, humanity, hope and loss forges the path to be the ultimate hero she's meant to be.

Gal Gadot surprised me. Most of her past performances were, well, sub par. Finally she's in the spotlight. She did pretty well. Although she has a long way to go, everyone begins somewhere. This movie is for her. Kudos for her strong performance, specially the fight sequences.

We all deserved this movie. While not a masterpiece, but good enough to be the stepping stone for women empowerment, and a proper story for a demigod and one of the most popular female superhero who can go toe to toe with the all powerful Superman. I just can't wait to see her interactions and chemistry with the big blue, and how they co ordinate, being the two gods that they are. DCEU is back on track.

Apart from her, Chris Pine as Steve Trevor shined, and he is straight from the comic book pages. He's a good actor, not surprising.

Despite all the positives, it has it's flaws. Some scenes were too long and unnecessarily dragged. Diana's chemistry with Steve could have been better. Dr Poison was equivalent to Kaecilius' henchmen..wasted.

A good ending satisfies all, after the emotional turbulence audiences go through. This movie did justice to that.

That being said, Man of Steel still remains the favorite DCEU movie for me. But perhaps that's because I'm biased to Supes.

7/10.

The story, the film editing and casting so good. This movies has lot kind of genres and the director had process successful all of them from fantasy, adventure to the war, action , romance and even a little comedy. Gal Gadot had shined at this movie and absolutely will become "A class " actress.

I got to see this at an early screening and I am extremely happy to announce that I love the movie! Gal Gadot was the perfect cast for Wonder Woman! The action sequences are amazing. A great script and no editing problems (like in Suicide Squad). This is a very well made film. Patty Jenkins did a fantastic job. Chris Pine and Robin Wright are also really good. Wonder Woman is inspiring and people will look up to her for decades because of this film. The only flaw I have with this movie is the villain, felt very much just like a generic throw away Marvel villain.

This masterpiece of s... could get an 8+ only if all the people that rated it 10 are blind or sleeping...to put it mildly. And IMDb sorry but you lose all credibility with fake ratings like this... No plot, no story, no character development...childish action scenes. She jumps, deflects bluets, wins the fight and no one is even surprised it's like they already knew her, and her team...totally useless, why were they even added. One example of poor action: sniper on the tower usually means nobody can expose a finger, yet all 3 men run out into the open unharmed and for what?...to hold a piece of metal 1 meter above the ground so she can jump 30 meters into the air??? And a scene that seemed to be an editing mistake. When meeting Ares she reaches for the sword (the one she lost easily in the previous fight, got beaten with it and then forgot it on the roof), the sword is not there, nothing happens then next scene she appeared to be coming down from the roof with the sword while Ares was waiting calmly (probably she asked him for a time out to go get the sword :) )

Really? Rating 8 and all? Such a waste of time. With all c.ap hype and talk show, praises had me fooled like no other. Honestly, this was so full of ..it. Except for a couple of quirky dialogues, I really cannot find anything to talk about. Chris Pine was fine. Gal Gaddot wasn't. Editing was bad and needless to say so was the direction of the whole movie. I have no idea who would finance this project (I know it paid off though with all the fake hype) and who would take this storyline as a storyline. Please stop marking false rating on IMDb. That's all.

After the big surprise that gave me Wonder Woman in Batman V Superman, again comes a surprise with her individual film. An incredible plot, entertaining from the first moment. Gal Gadot was born to play Wonder Woman, her performance was excellent, I love her! And Chris Pine as Steve Trevor loved it. The rest of the cast excellent. Special effects, soundtrack, costumes, and 3D, the best I've seen for years. Every action scene is amazing, I was surprised. It is a film with love, very exciting, inspiring and the best that made DC Comics that never failed me. Great surprise of the year and movie of the year.

Hi I've never written a review here before, but I love this movie so much I had to do it. Realistically, I would have given it an 8 or 9, because I know it's not perfect. There are cracks in this movie and they show. But to me, a 10/10 isn't a "perfect" movie. It's one that is not only well made, but also so impressive and so emotionally affecting that it makes the flaws irrelevant. I LOVE this movie. Its acting, its direction, its effects, its story and dialogue, everything. And in this case, it made me feel amazing. It reached inside of me and made my heart feel warm and strong. That's what this movie - this fun and smart and exciting and captivating depiction of the Wonder Woman character - did to me. Please see this movie.

A movie beyond woman equality, history, war, ethics and even religion. This movie was behind it's veil about honor, duty, good, evil, doing what is right, and of course love. I have never seen so profound aspects in another fictitious hero movie. A masterpiece on it's kind.

This in my opinion, makes this hero movie go up to the top, sharing places with The Dark Knight. As what I've seen so far on my 29 year old life span.

Oh boy I was so excited to go watch this movie like no other. This movie had a lot of problems, I thought that it was really boring and her origin story did not make really much sense to me. I think this is another d.c failure people are really really over hyping this movie. This movie is really about d.c trying to copy marvel in a way so fans like it but they didn't fool me, this movie copied captain America the first avenger in a lot if ways.

Unfortunately for me I decided NOT to watch the trailer in case there are spoilers and I had huge expectations from this movie. So when I saw it, I was so disappointed with this massive pile of bull fudge they call movie... Absolutely terrible. The story line was good but the way actors played their roles su*ked biiig time. Can I have my money back please?

Cue that awesome theme music! Gal Gadot plays Diana, Princess of Themyscira, and daughter of Hippolyta. Best known as Wonder Woman.

And by god she kills it in this. Wonder Woman is not merely the best installment of the DCEU so far but it's probably the best DC movie since the Dark Knight trilogy. Wonder Woman is also one of the most entertaining superhero debuts since the first Guardians of the Galaxy. On top of that, there is finally an excellent movie to set the benchmark for future superhero movies about a female hero.

Director Patty Jenkins transports audiences to Paradise Island where Amazon warrior women are tasked to defend mankind from the vengeful Ares, the Greek god of war. Their ruler's daughter Diana is kindhearted, brave, compassionate, and courageous. She rescues a dashing spy named Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) who informs her people about a greater conflict we know to be World War One. She is appalled by the destruction and onslaught so without question she sets out on a quest to end it.

Gal Gadot is the beautiful beating heart of this movie and perfectly cast as Wonder Woman. She's charismatic and authoritative but not so much that she loses her feminine charm and sense of humor. Yes a DC character being funny! Imagine that! Chris Pine is the love interest/sidekick who could honestly serve as the lead of his own adventure movie. Pine is factory built for these types of tough but clever action roles. His chemistry with Gadot is the best romance in a superhero movie since probably the original Spider-Man movies. The supporting cast is a strong one. Connie Nielsen is dignified as the Queen, Robin Wright is her steely lieutenant, Danny Huston is a slimy Nazi-by-another-name, Elena Anaya is her creepy henchwoman, and Lucy Davis plays the comic relief.

The movie uses the wartime setting to its advantage. No Man's Land becomes Diana Prince's debut as Wonder Woman. German infantry fight Amazons on horseback. Later the finale boils down to a god versus another god. And yes they use the Lasso of Truth. It's so cool! The timing of this movie couldn't be better. It works splendidly as a summer blockbuster at the very least. But it gives hope to female viewers young and old that women can be heroes too. It gives male viewers a chance to see a true ideal feminist hero in action. It also redresses for the mistakes made in the previous installments of the DCEU and honestly makes me more excited for Justice League

Worst part... Right during the beginning they have an Armidillo. That is an animal exclusive to North America... Explain that writers. As usual on any female action movie, the action is slow and blotchy. Only old Kung Fu movies can make women look bad ass (Long Kiss Goodnight is an exception). So... this movie uses exposition time to the point of boredom. Did we need over 10 minutes on the bath scene, that did nothing for the story? OH, then she slams against a cliff, that also does nothing. 36 minutes in, 1.5 hours left? I give up. Thank gods I didn't waste money on this crap.

Honestly, not one of the positive reviews I've read knows a damn thing about the comics. Let's just hope Deadpool 2 doesn't sell out to this wussy, guilt trip, sappy, vomit that is today's media.

DISLIKES

1- This movie is far too long and inflated with unnecessary lines. Diana is too preachy; her self-righteous monologues and dialogues contribute nothing to the film, to the contrary, they rob the viewer of the suspense and enjoyment of the film.

2- This is a fantasy/action movie but there is not much action and, the mixing of fantasy with an element of warped history does not help either. Of course the producers were aware of what they were doing. They deliberately depicted the Turks as the partners of the Nazi Germans who developed chemical weapons during WWI. Sorry, I am not a 5 year old and I know for sure that Nazi Germany had not existed until 1930s and the Turks had stayed neutral during WWII. Actually, to the contrary of what the movie shows, the Turks saved a lot of Jews from the hands of the Nazis. If the producers were looking for a Nazi collaborator, I wonder why they didn't chose a different nation who indeed helped the Nazis during the war e.g Switzerland, Sweden, Italy or Japan...I wonder if John Kerry used his influence over the Hollywood producers when he met them last February. Of course, one should know why the US has created so many superhero Hollywood characters. Such superhero characters have merely served towards the US's goals during the 40's, 50's and the cold war era against the Soviets (Capitalism V Communism). By the looks of it such superheroes will serve the US's foreign policies for a long long time to come.

3- The message of the film is rather laughable considering the number of people Diana already killed, her shouting about love at Ares was particularly silly at this point. First kill and then send love messages. Yeah sure... We have seen this scenario in real life indeed. No, the world does not need a superhero thank you Bush, Obama, Trump, Kelly...

LIKES

1- This is not a low budget film by any standards. Costumes, special effects etc were all good.

2- It is good to see a strong female superhero amongst the male dominated superhero characters.

3- Fighting scenes were good but I would have expected to see more of them.

This is the best movie of 2017 beyond a shadow of a Doubt. This movie blew me away. The action scenes are godlike, humor falls into place so perfectly. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is as good as Hugh Jackman for Wolverine, born to play these roles. Steve Trevor and Diana Prince chemistry is so legit that it surpasses major Romantic hits. Nonetheless, its a Superhero Movie!! and boy, it delivers on that front. Every Guy, Woman, Kids..Dammit Everyone needs to Watch this Movie. You will cry happy tears that one the most iconic Superheroes has made its Film Debut with such a Blast. Hats off to Patty Jenkins and co for delivering the Superhero Movie of the year (I am not kidding). Guess what, Marvel Fanboys are already at it, giving this Masterpiece Mediocre reviews. This Movie is not Mediocre, Its not even Good, ITS F'n GREAT!!! Even if you are not a fan of DCEU, you'll be flabbergasted, blown away, Rejoice in this Wonderful adventure of a Wonderful Woman!

Worst movie I've been dragged to. The want my money back kind of movie. Nothing original. Predictable. Nothing new or surprising. Prefabricated patterns put together as a hay stack. Terrible acting (mostly...). I agree that it is a difficult fantasy story, but... well, it's not even funny.

It is unfortunate that most women film directors, unlike women artists, writers, actresses, and jazz vocalists (though there has been a lot of progress with woman musicians now that jazz is dead) feel the need (or financial pressure) to either be a "woman" director who absolutely must add some kind of marketable "woman's point of view" to their work (Jane Campion), or just kiss up to the war machine and the war machine's historical narrative (thus becoming one of the new pro-war western warrior-women for the "feminist" cause that I despise so much, think Katherine Bigelow).This film is pretty much the latter.

Wonder Woman unfortunately take sides with the Americans and the Britishers, instead of fighting to end all wars and imperial aggression, which I would have loved (WWI was marketed as the war to end all wars among the white man).

Wonder Woman is really really handsome and that is the only reason I tolerated the film until the end.

Not very creative.

The Plot. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior.

Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when a pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat.

Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers and her true destiny.

Don't believe the hype. This movie truly sucks. Women are bad directors -- especially for action films.

The acting is mediocre and the story is a borefest. Plus parts make no sense. As a kid WW speaks English perfectly but as an adult she has a thick accent. REALLY?

I was really bored out of my mind for more than 2 hours.

Anyone who saw the original Wonder Woman movie, as bad as it was,wlll find the original far superior to this piece of crap even though the newer version is full of cinematic gimmicks which the original did not have.Lind Carter was not the greatest actress but compared to Gal Godot, Carter was by far the best Wonder Woman. Besides Carter is beautiful, Gadot is very unattractive. I suspect that those who exalt this film are feminists.

And compared to the original movie, this one is badly directed. It lacks cohesiveness and credibility. It is as others have noted, a badly flawed flick. If you go to watch it, don't have high expectations because you will really be disappointed. The flick got a lot of undeserved praise.

The only reason I went to see this flick was to take my 14 yr. old granddaughter and my 17 yr. old grandson. My granddaughter loved the movie, my grandson was bored by it, thought it was a waste of time. But I can understand why anyone who is still a juvenile at heart might enjoy this fantasy. Also, why viewers who were not old enough to watch the original Wonder Woman had nothing to compare the latest flick with the original. It is like the James Bond movies. The original Sean Connery versions were by far the best but as the movies went on and new actors became James Bond, they couldn't match Sean Connery. Likewise Gadot is no Lynda Carter. And I don't mean to compare the James Bond movies with the DC movies because the DC movies including the latest Wonder Woman are not even close to being in the same class as the James Bond movies. It is like comparing the Untouchables with the Brahmans.

Another thing that one has to wonder. Wonder Woman was not released until June 2, yet there were so many reviews written prior to that date. So is someone stacking the deck in order to get people to watch the flick?

Just to set something straight. Wonder Woman is way better than either Batman v Superman or Suicide Squad. It has what the others are missing, which is a "heart". Also, it's a funny movie with Chris Pine acting at his best. And no doubt, Gal Gadot seems to be the perfect choice for Wonder Woman. Still...This movie suffers from the same reason as the other two movies, which is action and villains...It's too much CGI and a lot of times it is too obvious, it just ruins many of the action sequences. This goes for the final battle as well. It's just worse, the main villain does not represent a danger in any way. It just floats in the air and that's all...wtf... It really is too bad because this could have been a very good movie...Instead it's a movie with great characters, fun,a great soundtrack, but broken by the action sequences and villains which are just so bad...It's really a shame

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning

Diana (Gal Gadot) was raised on a distant planet of only women, where her mother wanted to protect her from the physical demands of fighting like all the other women there. But one day she starts to rebel and unleashes some hidden powers she was unaware of, meaning the rite of passage has come, so her mother tells her the story of a spiteful son of a God and his attempt to destroy the Earth. Then, Air Force pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crash lands into their home, confusing the order of things. He reveals he has a book that contains plans by evil German commandant Ludendorff (Danny Huston) to unleash a deadly nerve gas on England. And so Diana and Steve must head to London to thwart his diabolical plan.

The superhero franchise, on both sides of the DC/Marvel divide, must really be doing the rounds, as now we have Wonder Woman, who was a character in the recent disastrous Batman Vs. Superman movie, in her own more than feature length film. And after this, there is of course the Justice League film, where all the main players are having a big jamboree together. Whether this was the inspiration behind this films existence or pressure from the feminist movement to get some good ol' equality up there on the big screen is unclear, but either way the debut feature length directorial effort of Patty Jenkins is a long, joyless effort that wastes a golden chance to level the playing field for female superheroes.

Like Batman, even more so, in fact, Wonder Woman has been taken from a pretty camp, light hearted source, and been transformed into something far moodier and deep on the big screen, where undemanding fun has been substituted for wondrous spectacle. But for all the awe inspiring effects and breath taking action sequences, it can't make up for a total sense of humour failure in the script, as well as any care-worthy characters or snappy dialogue, as well as a totally sloppy, incoherent plot that really fails to suck you in for the length it does. She may be beautiful and glamorous to look at, but Gadot isn't the greatest actress, to say the least, and co star Pine is equally vapid and bland. Even a support cast including David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner and Lucy Davis can't help. Performances wise, the best thing is Huston as the villain, who really fits the skin of his character, but can't make the whole thing taste any better.

It would have been great to see a good Wonder Woman, but sadly this is just Blunder Woman! *

The much anticipated new Wonder Woman movie is with us, and for once the film lives up to the wall-to-wall marketing hype.

With a heavy dose of mythology, Diana is growing up as the cossetted daughter of Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen, "Gladiator"), the Queen of the Amazons, on the hidden paradise island of Themyscira. Trained up as a warrior by Hippolyta's sister, General Antiope (Robin Wright of "House of Cards"), Diana is clearly something special. Her ego is reinforced by the knowledge that she was made of clay with life breathed into her by the God Zeus.  It's enough to turn a girl's head!

It's 1917 and the man-free paradise is shaken up when an American spy by the name of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine, "Star Trek: Beyond") crash- lands in the waters off Themyscira.  (And yes... you didn't mishear me... this film genuinely features a hero with both the names "Steve" and 'Trevor"). Prince Eric - no, sorry, wrong film - is saved and awakened on the beach by Diana as the others arrive.  "Thank God!", say the Amazonians. "At last, someone to process the 200 year backlog of washing and ironing"!  

But Steve (an "above average specimen", LOL) is not long for paradise as he needs to return to the war with the results of his spy-work: a chemistry book stolen from the gorgeously deformed Dr Maru (Elena Anaya), gas-developer for the evil General Ludendorff (Danny Huston). Seeing Ludendorff to be her God-like nemesis Ares, Diana returns with Steve to the WW1 battlefields with the intent of killing the God of War and so ending the 'war to end all wars'.

Much 'fish out of water' fun is had with Diana meeting civilised London society, although perhaps this section of the film doesn't quite live up to its full potential:  having ice cream for the first time, without any sign of surprise, all she can come up with is an amusing but rather lame "You must be very proud".

But where the film really accelerates into awesomeness is when Diana reaches the trenches. She emerges from the trenches like some shimmering vision of hotness, to set male and lesbian hearts a flutter. Its the most memorable trench-exit since the finale of "Black Adder 4", and the subsequent scenes of Diana single-handedly facing the German guns is for me one of the most compelling and enjoyable scenes in any recent DC or Marvel movie.

Holding all this together is the ex-Israeli army-trainer Gal Gadot in the title role. And man oh man, what a Gal! Statuesque, athletic but also sweet, charming and emotionally fragile she completely owns this role from beginning to end.  Gadot made a memorable entry in the otherwise poor "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (#marthagate #neverforget #neverforgive) but nothing prepares you for just how great she is in this outing.

Chris Pine - the thinking women's Chris Pratt - once again proves himself as a talented actor who manages to successfully morph to inhabit the role he plays. Much as he did in the excellent "Hell or High Water", not once did I equate him to be James Tiberius Kirk after the first 5 minutes. 

Effective in supporting roles are David Thewlis ("Harry Potter") as a 'helpful' army bod and an almost unrecognisable Lucy Davis ("The Office") as Etta, Steve's comedic secretary.  Steve's rather unlikely sidekicks of Sameer (Said Taghmaoui, "American Hustle"), Charlie (Ewen Bremner, "Trainspotting") and 'The Chief' (Eugene Brave Rock "The Revenant") all rather fade into the woodwork by comparison. 

I saw the film in 3D ("careful now... you could take an eye out with those things") and very good it was too. Aside from some rather unnecessary Amazonian arrows, its never feels overdone, and elements of it were extremely effective.

Another star of the show is the superb Wonder Woman theme by Hans Zimmer, here rolled out by the film's composer Rupert Gregson-Williams ("Hacksaw Ridge"). Unfortunately, the rest of the soundtrack is not particularly memorable.

The film shifts into more traditional yawn-worthy 'superhero finale' mode in the last twenty minutes, which is a bit of a shame.

Patty Jenkins ("Monster") directs and knows the audience she is aiming to please. One can only imagine the empowering impact this film will have on young girls, crossing their wrists and in their imagination casting terrorists into the hell that they should be consigned to. In this week of yet more Isis atrocity in London, Wonder Woman is a role- model we could all stand and salute: "I believe in love" too.

The music, smartly composed and gets u in the scene

The landscapes, eye opening and must see all

Picture quality, near perfect

so

what makes this movie awful ?

lets go a little technical;

when filming an action genre, the choreography is designed such a way that all impacts hit the center of the screen. (when you draw two diagonals from opposite corners, the center is the junction in the middle) this way both the action seem satisfying, becomes easy to catch by the audience, more fun.

in this movie the opponents are mostly on the left side of the screen, the impact misses the center, and heroine is mostly far edge right on the screen. why is this filmed this way ? who knows,

but

all heroes and fighters in action genre kick exposing their front side, their chest and their front faces the audience giving an epic movement/pose, in this movie all kicks expose the back side of the heroine so we see no epic pose but cute underwear basically wonder woman is a film about cool chicks wearing minies, and kicking while the camera at their back side. this is a cheap trick to sell action audience, and no one is pleased

gaş gadot is one of the hottest woman on the genre but she is yet not ready to handle leading role

chris pine saves all scenes

David thewlis adds elegance

but these two dudes no matter how hard they try couldn't save the movie

those're why the effort and the music and the landscape and two brilliant actors gone vain

I will keep it simple. Philippus is a major character in Wonder Woman. So why would white Hollywood exclude her. Oh, I forgot she is Black. She is both one of Queen Hippolyta's most trusted advisers and the woman who trained Wonder Woman as a child. While all of the Amazons love Wonder Woman, it's Philippus who ultimately takes it upon herself to protect the young princess and teach her just what it means to be an Amazon.

Until Hollywood recognizes the importance of racial diversity; I will keep my purse closed and all women of color should do likewise.

This movie left me with so many emotions it's so relieving. Whether your a fan of the DCEU or not, this movie is a game changer. Not just for DC films, not just comic book movies, but for all summer blockbusters going forward. It's sets a new standard that Hollywood should really follow. Going into Wonder Woman I was expecting little to nothing, I was more forgiving when it came to the last few attempts like Dawn of Justice/Suicide Squad but I wanted them to do better. I wanted DC to show people they're capable of telling great stories on film again like Superman 78, Batman 89, Batman Begins etc. Ladies and gentlemen I'm happy to say with all my confidence that Wonder Woman is just wonderful. It's full of action, heart, and just mesmerizing heroism. To see Gal Godot embody the character in one particular moment of the film it brought a tear to my eye, because it felt like watching Christopher Reeve become Superman or Michael Keaton become Batman. It was just awe inspiring and I didn't want the movie to end. It accomplishes what a superhero film should do, inspire. It left the audience inspired from beginning to end and I could feel it. Nobody said a word in my theatre, you could hear the food crunching and the cup sipping stop because everyone was all into it. I gotta thank Gal Gadot for taking on the challenge of portraying such an iconic character especially when so many doubted her in the beginning. She's become my new favorite actress in the comic book movie world and I want to see more of her. I hope Patty Jenkins returns for a sequel or another hero's film (Man of Steel 2 maybe?). She really understood the core value of Diana and gave us a movie about the journey of a legend, who sees the good and bad of life. Through that it's a return to form of great storytelling that's the best of DC since Batman 89. Yes I know that's saying a lot about it being better than the Dark Knight Trilogy but it accomplishes the core values of what the Justice League represents, truth, honor, justice, being kind hearted, caring about people. My problem with The Dark Knight in particular is the villain overshadows the hero and you loose that important aspect of who you're rooting for in your movie. Wonder Woman brings that old school feel of superheroes back by really just showing you an inspiring Gal Gadot who just nails it here, I can't stress that enough. If you love the DCEU you're gonna love this movie obviously. If you've had issues or completely hated the recent movies I still recommend giving this movie a chance. It's worth seeing alone for the chemistry of Gadot and Chris Pine who carry this movie on their backs. I hope the future movies have as much care and inspiration as this one did because it's truly like watching a comic book character come to life and retaining everything you looked up to in these characters. If I had to really complain about one thing I would just say pacing. There are times in the first act-second act that feel like filler and it starts to slow down. That's just nitpicking I really don't think this movie is anywhere near bad. Go see Wonder Woman guys regardless of what side your on, at the end of the day it's just a very well made movie.

First off - this movie is clearly being "downvote brigaded" by some angry channers and neckbeards who can't believe that a woman outgrossed Batman v. Superman at the box office (sad isn't it)? It was an 8.3 on here before they came in swarms.

---

Now, that being said - I'll kick things off with a bad pun - this movie is Wonder-ful!!! It has been such a long time since we had a truly optimistic, heartfelt, and passionate superhero film. It seems you either have to be super edgy (DC's BvS and Suicide Squad), or super goofy/sarcastic (Marvel Movies)... but Wonder Woman has found a way to navigate those awful waters and find what makes superhero films so great - the same way Richard Donner did with "Superman" 1978.

So don't bother listening to haters - this film is a once in a generation flick, that resurrects the feeling of joy and optimism at the idea that there are "superhumans" and "superheroes" out there saving the day.

Wonderful flick - and best CBM since "The Dark Knight" (Possibly ever - alongside Superman 1978). 10/10!

First off...as a kid, I used to enjoy watching #WonderWoman (1975 starring Linda Carter, as well as, enjoyed countless #JusticeLeague comics & movies, featuring the incredibly fearless Princess Diana. Therefore, when it came time to see WonderWoman 2017 on Fathers Day, my daughter and I could barely contain ourselves - However, although Gal Gadot was exceptional in her role, the movie unfortunately, had a poor script, poor storyline and far less action than expected....As such Wonder Woman (2017) failed to live up to our expectations!

i did like this movie. i was entertained and i liked certain aspects of it for sure. is it a good movie? yes it is. is it a great movie? no it isn't. though the high rotten tomatoes rating suggests its a masterpiece it is far from that sadly. i think it had the potential to be great but due to the lack of continuity this movie had it struggled to reach its full potential. it is the best DCU movie by far but honestly thats really not saying much. wonder woman is a let down on all parts which is a real shame. this shows that justice league will probably be no better

Wonder Woman! Two words. HELL. YEAH. Gal Gadot, as if it wasn't clear enough with her performance in BvS, absolutely nailed it as Diana, and the rest of the cast was stellar as well. The story of how she transformed into who she is today, is PHENOMENAL. This movie's got heart, humour at just the right places (take note, Marvel) and the action. Oh boy does it rock when there are action set-pieces! Jenkins did an incredible job with it, Snyder along with the other screenwriters, gave us a story that does all the justice in the world to Wonder Woman's character and mythos. Definitely a 10/10. Take that, DC haters!

Wonder Woman is a great movie directed by Patty Jenkins and it stars Gal Gadot as the all amazing Diana Price. This is a great origin story and the journey of a great, powerful, independent, inspiration WOMAN. Along with a great cast, including Chris Pine it full of love, humour and kick ass women.

just back from my viewing this morning (it is opened 30/5 here i n HK). I admit i was having lot of doubts before getting to this movie. First of all, still no review yet on RT only few days before US opening ( always a bad sign). Few users' reviews on the web and they seems to be too good to be REAL. And yesterday i saw few users here saying those good reviews are fake and giving horrific 1 star and rant on the movie ( will get back to this on the latter part), my heart dropped dead.

Forgetting all those worries and trying to be neutral as best to see what i am going to get out from this film, i could say i should never saw those evil, brutal 1 star users' "what to say". This movie is REALLY REALLY GOOD!!!! Those good reviews are no lie at all. Everyone agrees wonder women was the highlight Of the BVS. This movie elevates that into another level!! The story really give depth to the character, Gal Gadot is really charming as the wonder women. The action sequence was made beautifully and the final act was just WOW that it gave me a chill that i was longing for a superhero film.

Inevitably, people do compare this to those Marvel works. For me, Wonder woman is on pal with Ironman 1 & Captain America 2 winder solider. And people have to bear in mind DC is always different from Marvel, that is the reason it make this movie or DC movie so cool. i do enjoy watching Marvel stuffs, they are always entertaining and action packed, but that's all, they are kind of forgettable and lack of depth. Except Ironman 1, CA2 or maybe civil war, i don't really think other Marvels are really that great, some are even not good to me (i.e. Thor, IM3..). DC movie is not afraid of stepping into the dark side of the human heart, it will give u something meaningful to ponder on....WonderWomen's backstory is set on the WW1, the darkest moment for the humanity. it is the path for wonder women to realize who she really is and what she stands for out of knowing human is the one to blame for all the evil and terrible things they are capable of but human is also fond of love and capable of building better world. The story is so compelling.

To those people who could rate movie at 1 star. i mean how could you do that just because you don't like it or simply you are fan of Marvel. We really need different kind of movies more than just always one similar formula.

"Wonder Woman" is certainly one of the best (if not THE BEST) superhero adventure recently released by the cinema industry. The film is a comic book on the big screen, with a very well written screenplay and a very attractive and full of action story. The cast is fantastic and Gal Gadot and Chris Pine show a wonderful chemistry with their never boring romance. The beauty of the charming Gal Gadot is exotic and sexy she really "steals the show" with her perfect performance. The top-notch special effects is state-of-art and impressive. The direction of Patty Jenkins surprises since this is her first blockbuster work. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Mulher Maravilha" ("Wonder Woman")

Wonder woman starts with showing where wonder woman (aka Diana Prince) came from: the amazons who live on the island Themyscira. The island is somewhere near Greece but hidden from view by a strange fog for normal people. We follow how Diana grows up to become one of the greatest amazon to have ever lived. On the day of her final training something strange happens: a German plane from the first world war breaks through the fog surrounding Themyscira and crashes into the sea. Diana rescues the man (Steve, a British spy played by Chris Pine) inside the plane, but he is pursued by German soldiers who also break through the fog. The Germans are quickly defeated by the mighty amazon warriors and learn from Steve that the whole world is currently fighting a great war. Diana thinks it must be the work of Ares, the god of war and that it is time to wield the god killer sword to put an end to Ares once and for all. Together with Steve and his friends she leaves the island of Themyscira to go to horrific front of the first world war, trying to find and defeat Aris.

I went into this movie a bit skeptical, because I wasn't impressed by Batman VS Superman where (the modern version) Wonder Woman made her entrance. But the character is interesting so I was curious how her origin story panned out. The start of the movie was a bit to serious/high fantasy for me but once Chris Pine enters the picture, it get's a lot lighter in tone and I started to like it a lot more. I really like Pine in The scenes where Diana enters London and get's in contact with 1910's civilization are hilarious and Gal Gadot does a fine job playing someone who's from a different world. I also liked the supporting cast who play Steve's friends, lot's of humor in those scenes.

The action scenes where mostly very well done. Cool slow motion effects and very good stunt work. My only gripe was that the CGI doubles of wonder woman and her opponents where a bit to obvious in a few scenes. And like in many comic book movies, this movie also suffered from a bad guy that was not impressive at all. The final confrontation was a bit to predictable and way to much CGI effects for my taste. But there was an emotional touch in the ending which was well done and unexpected.

Wonder woman is an enjoyable action movie with great action scenes and some good laughs. Recommended if your in for an entertaining action movie with some fantasy elements.

This review of Wonder Woman is spoiler free

**** (4/5)

THERE'S A SAYING, a metaphor perhaps that states if a series or a distributor starts with a few false starts in previous instalments then the hype for the next instalment will dwindle, this, of course is true for other series' of films but for the DCEU it clearly isn't. There have been a few false starts for the series, Man of Steel didn't live to expectation nor Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice wasn't as good as was previously thought then Suicide Squad fell into the world of shame rather than live up to what it said on the tin. It seem the DCEU was in need of a saviour, at first this saviour came from a meme – this had a bruised Batman and tired Superman fighting in an endless war, then beyond that shadow stands Gal Gadot's Diana – perhaps the saviour of BvS.

After Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman the metaphor loses its sight, and goes into turmoil, in the opening few minutes there's colour, a narration that explains the comings of war between gods and humans and a young Diana Prince (exceptional work from youngster Lilly Aspell) willing to train for a coming war. Her mother (Robin Wright) explains that there is no need to do this – after this the origin of the princess progresses to when she is all grown up and has become a trained warrior. The opening origin story is exceptional there's a lot colour which we haven't seen in previous instalments, there's stunning story narration and a wonderful shot of Gadot's Diana training with her auntie (Connie Nielsen) the best fighter on the island. An island inhabited by women until a manly presence invades their homeland enter American spy Captain Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), he speaks of an ongoing war in the outer world. When he's teamed with Gadot their chemistry is magnificent these two work well together and prove to be the dynamic that we need.

Pine is exceptional as Steve, he's funny, he's handsome, and he's a charmer who does anything to please our heroine. Diana who's never seen a man before is wonderful to behold especially when she tells Steve about where she comes from. She wants to go with him to go fight the ongoing war – meanwhile villainous doctor, Dr. Poison (Elana Anaya) and her warmongering companion Ludendorff (Danny Huston) design dangerous weapons to outfit their soldiers. It's a wonderful story of war and super heroism a mach that never made a keen pairing before but now-a-days it works. It's dark but constantly dark and brooding as the previous films, something that the earlier DCEU intended to rely on Wonder Woman proves that you don't need to be dark to be good.

And she does her job well, as Diana Gadot is fantastic she's a beautiful princess who loves the world of men and believes that life has a meaning, as her stronger alter ego she's exceptional, she's strong but on the inside she's vulnerable, unlike the caped crusaders or the men of steel she's not afraid to show emotion and the other wonder woman helming her director Jenkins shows this with exquisite style. Diana was the saviour in BvS, here she proves to be the saviour again who takes no BS. And Jenkins proves that a DC movie can have style too – she adds a lot of elements here that makes this super-human feel more human as said she adds emotion there are other elements too the vulnerability makes her a more connectable superhero it proves strength in the female superhero line.

Sadly it's not wonderful, in the last 20 minutes it hits a cliché cg barrier that other superhero movies seem to rely on now-a-days, there are some moments that look they're made from green screen and sadly doesn't make it as good as it could've been. Other than that everything here delivers exceptionally well Jenkins proves that could teach the caped crusaders or men of steel a thing or two with this instalment, it's she's brought new light to the DCEU and it's about damn time.

VERDICT: After a few false starts to the DCEU it finally has a success in fantastic style that hits punches with brilliant execution and fabulous performances this is perhaps the best instalment to the DCEU ever, now we can breathe again.

DC fans and directors were bashing on marvel constantly,yet with this movie we can clearly see that they are trying to be like MCU.Even FOX'S X men franchise is more original and better than DCEU right now.Since DC lost tragically to marvel last year,they are trying to be like marvel in order to catch them.I was expecting original stuff from DC.But they gave us captain America&Thor mixture.Just like most of the DC movies this one is also shallow,depressing and very boring.They tried to be funny but ended up being very cringe like suicide squad.

This is THE most useless waste of time to hit the screen since HOWARD THE DUCK .... it's a Wonder how it made it into theaters. The storyline is very poor, and the acting matches it perfectly. There is no way I would recommend this tragedy to anyone. Anyone paying an admission should leave feeling robbed, and would have been better off donating to a beggar in the parking lot.

Nothing worth seeing, their attempts at humour got maybe a half smirk at best. Romance felt forced and there was no chemistry. Very bland origins story as is expected of this genre. Don't understand how you can rate this above a five out of ten. Truly bored during the entire thing.

Not me of course, though I do admit I was wondering if this was going to be any good. DC did not have the best record concerning building up their universe, so skepticism was not really out of the ordinary. But the movie proved me wrong and made a lot of things right. And it's really nice that it's the Wonder Woman movie to kick off that trend. I know some will either cherish that and others will hate it - just try to leave the feminism discussion out of it.

And enjoy a movie that really captures the making of a superhero. Wonder Woman rising in the best sense. There still are some hurdles that are tough to overcome. The main villain for example has his issues, but for every thing that may not work 100% you have twice or three times as many other things that are really good. Take Chris Pine for example: I wasn't sure if this was necessary casting ... but it very much was. You needed someone who could hold his own. And Gal Gadot really is amazing in this. Looks and beauty aside, she really pulled her weight acting wise.

I'm neither a fan of MARVEL or DC. Overall, this movie is a disaster. If there's anyone has ever really WATCHED it, he/she will know how awful it is. Yes, the actress is fantastically beautiful, but that's it, that's the only good thing about this movie. The story line is terrible like in hell. Since I'm not allowed to post a spoiler, I can't write any specific plot, but trust me, do not watch it, or your day will be ruined.

plus. The only reason I rate this 2/10 rather than 1/10 or 0/10 (if I could) is because of the beauty of Gal Gadot.

#WonderWoman movie is simply amazing. It doesn't hold back, it pulls out all the stops, it doesn't reserve some parts for a potential sequel, it fully gives you this iconic Amazonian Warrior princess in all her glory. You'll be constantly blown away by what she can do because the film is constantly eager to show them to you. Gal Gadot has cemented her star power and the DC Cinematic Universe has redeemed themselves through "Wonder Woman."

Starring Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, David Thewlis, directed by Patty Jenkins, before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons trained to be an unconquerable warrior in the mythical island of Themyscira. But Diana is unaware of her true identity. When an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive war raging in the outside world, Diana feels compelled to join him and fight alongside mankind to stop the threat and kill who she blames to be the cause of such destruction, the god of war Ares.

Because it's a DC movie, much of the visual and the style of "Wonder Woman" is what you'd expect from a DC movie. But what's great about this one, which by the way the other installments unfortunately failed to do, is that "Wonder Woman" manages to inject entertainment, so it's not all brooding and dark and depressing like the way they've turned boyscout Superman into.

And I think much of that is thanks to the fish-out-of-water aspect. This is a woman who comes from a place which has a significantly different culture than ours. And halfway through the end, the fish-out-of-water aspect becomes less about literally not fitting in and more about her misunderstood perception of us, mankind. So perhaps "Wonder Woman" is an example of a success story that happens when you don't give all the control to Zack Snyder and when studio heads don't meddle with the mythology and the filmmaker's vision and when things are not forced or rushed. The result is a story which you can tell has been given a considerable amount of thought process.

Any doubt anybody may have had about Gal Gadot playing this role will fade away the minute she steps into the screen. Not only does she look the part, she's absolutely gorgeous, her acting is sharp, she also performs the action sequences with strength and elegance. She becomes Wonder Woman, they are now inseparable, just like we're all going to have a hard time imagining somebody else other than Hugh Jackman as Wolverine/Logan. This is Wonder Woman's debut on the big screen, billions of girls and women on earth look up to her as their hero, they have been anticipating this moment for years, so it is a huge responsibility, one that I think Gadot gracefully carries. Kudos to WB and DC Entertainment for entrusting this to female filmmaker Patty Jenkins who does an excellent job because more than just it being a great superhero film, "Wonder Woman" is a very well-made film. It's spectacular in every sense of the word.

-- Rama's Screen --

Go and watch it! It's the best addition to the DCEU yet! Gal and Chris have great chemistry, all the actors' performances are superb, the music was MAGICAL, and when the film ended, I wanted more.

But I suggest not to bring your little ones to see it, though. There are war scenes that may be too intense for them.

I personally loved watching it, and I plan to watch it again for the THIRD time in the cinemas this weekend!

I wasted about 45 minutes before I had to leave. That says a lot for me because I am a cheapskate and had paid for a double feature. I couldn't bear to wait through this one for the other.

It was a pretty film, but as with many others in the current generation, fell way short in content. Kind of a beauty is only skin deep kind of thing. My daddy always told me that it was the heart and soul that counts, and this movie has none of that. It was full of tired clichés, presented in a way that made me feel somehow like the director was a cheesy 1950's misogynist trying to make a buck off of girls and women for which he had no real respect.

It is a wonder women allowed themselves to be represented this way, but hey, maybe it redeemed itself in the second half. I just could not waste the time to find out.

I am a fan of DC, even their films, although I personally love them, I can understand a lot of their criticisms and recognize they're not the best superhero films. So going in I was excited but also realistic, in that I try to not have my expectation too high.

And boy I was not disappointed, I had an absolute blast watching it. The action is amazing, the shots were beautifully shot and directed. The highlight of the film is of course Gal Gadot and Chris Pines who both owned the roles of Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor. Even the supporting cast provided some great humor and depth, it really made me care about each characters.

The only gripe I had was there was some disappointment with the antagonist. The antagonist is not bad in anyway, in fact the antagonist is visually cool looking, but I realize that the antagonist is not the best villain, good but just disappointed.

All in all, it is easily one of the best blockbuster films this year, had an amazing time. So go out and watch it, you'll sure find something entertaining out of it.

Just like Jesse Heisenberg and Jared Leto,gal Godot also showed how amateur she is.She is definitely not fitting to this role.Something doesn't feel right about her acting. There is a show that has a good script despite mediocre directing and vise verse. There is also a show that can be saved by a good directing despite mediocre writing. This show have none of that.. But after all, if you don't know how to tell a story, It must be writing a script is not your thing, and I suggest you better find alternative job you good at. Because create an incoherent script is the same as making the whole production suffered.

I am so sick of casting directors screwing up films with terrible choices! Batman vs Superman was ruined by Jessie Eisenberg! The rest of the cast was superb so why stuff it up by casting such a bad lex Luther!

I was excited by a Wonder Woman movie after seeing old seems with Linda Carter but was bitterly disappointed. I can understand casting Carter back 'in the day' but why choose a skinny, weak looking woman as an amazon today! Special effects and cgi don't make up for casting such a terrible Wonder Woman!

Other than the terrible storyline that is full of holes any half wit would notice and the terrible cast, the movie ended up being barely watchable.

As a strong intelligent, independent woman, I am so sick of this feminist garbage which has been associated with this film!

I hope casting directors wake up and stop casting the wrong people and screwing up what could be good movies!

OK I was super hyper about this movie just like the rest of us Supero hero fans and after seeing the great reviews I definitely had to see it. Unfortunately after seeing WW, I'm beginning to think any reviewer who gave anything over a 6/10 had to be paid. This movie was boring and way too long...even for an origin story! Like hurry up and get to the point already. The acting was bad. Not sure what accent some of those guys/gals were supposed to have! Overall, I walked out of the movie disappointed and confused as to how the ratings were so high.

In DC's new installation, director Patty Jenkins and co breathe new life into the 75-year-old iconic character. Created for the purpose of "fighting using love", Wonder Woman had always been a interesting character to include in stories, but hard to pinpoint when it came to personality. After the last 3 DC movies I said no more for me. I'm glad a friend changed my mind on that. I didn't go to see it because it was the next chapter in a cinematic universe, I saw it because it told a story (and the hype behind all the critic reviews, of course). And there's a perfect balance to her: she's not sexual used by virtue of her appearance, and she's not a feminist. She's just a woman, who shows vulnerability, and wants there to be world peace. I was so surprised by how much they humanized her. Inspite of the fact that she was a stonehard killer, she looked at the world mostly through the eyes of a little girl. And I never expected that. I didn't just like it because it was a great movie, I also liked it because this is the best incarnation of Wonder Woman I've ever seen, even compared to the animated features. If you want a movie with great world history, a little bit of mythology, and an awesome "new" superhero the center of it all, I'd recommend checking this one out. This took decades to get to, and even Joss Whedon admitted it was too complicated for him to make. Don't watch this because of the Cinematic Universe, watch it because it's a good movie with (finally) a well-made message behind it.

Wow.

Let me just get this out of the way. I love both Marvel and DC. I want them all to be good, but if I'm being honest, Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad are complete misfires. They're both messy, mishandled, with a lot of corporate meddling. However, Wonder Woman is the complete opposite. This marks a second great DC film for WB in my books(I know there are people who love/hate Man of Steel, but I happened to really like it).

Princess Diana, otherwise known as Wonder Woman here is fully realized and completely three-dimensional. She finally gets her due in cinema and I cannot be more pleased. She's idealistic yet naive, compassionate, yet stubborn, and brave. I typically dislike origin stories, but every now and then they can be very fun, and Wonder Woman is that exception. Patty Jenkins who led Charlize Theron to an Oscar, brings a story that is packed with heart without ever getting too over the top or too heavy handed. During the hype train I disliked the idea of Gal Gadot, mainly due to her inexperience as an actor. She slightly won me over for the short amount of time she was in Batman v Superman, but now she really won me over. I will admit, there are moments where she didn't exactly deliver her lines effectively, but I think the more she plays this character the more better she'll be.

Chris Pine is great in the role of Steve Trevor. Again, while I thought some of Gadot's delivery felt dry or cheesy, she and Pine do have a great chemistry. I always preach about this, and even if it sounds like overkill at this point, but chemistry is so important with anything that has to do with romance. The romance here is solid and believable. In a very good way it was very reminiscent of Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter.

The supporting cast are solid, highlights include Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright portray Queen Hippolyta and General Antiope, and they're not characters who get the short end of the stick, they actually contribute to Diana's upbringing. The supporting cast is good too. Pine's Trevor recruits a ragtag team, again reminiscent of The Howling Commandos in Captain America: The First Avenger.

Taking a page off Marvel though, the villains are the ones who do end up getting the short end of the stick. There is a twist I didn't see coming, but even then it was a bit excessive and kind of out of place. I will say though, I happened to enjoy only Elena Anaya's creepy Doctor Poison out of the film's villains.

The third act is slightly underwhelming, but the action scenes are fantastic. I was quite surprised as I was concerned about Patty Jenkins' ability to shoot action. Also they're lit in daylight and being able to see everything unfold is just pure eye-candy. Something I appreciated is that Jenkins also shows the casualty of what war brings and she doesn't compromise on the gruesome reality of it. Visual effects are good, but there are few moments where its so obvious that it's cgi. I'm not very picky in that department, but when it's too too noticeable, then it automatically takes me out of the film.

I did mention Captain America: The First Avenger multiple times, and the film takes some influences and operates like it, but it's not a carbon copy at all. On the surface Wonder Woman might appear to be of similar adventures and superhero films that we've seen on screen, but it's moving parts and the little things it does that makes the film shine. With good character moments, humorous banter, and a resonating romance, it is the female superhero film that we needed.

8.5/10

So, I first go to Wikipedia and check out it's article on Wonder Woman and see the facts. First, this movie grossed over $800 world wide, against a budget about a buck and half mil. NOT bad! I go to the 'critical response' section and find that the first statement is that this movie received 'mostly positive' reviews from the critics, most claiming it's the best of the Marvel comics movies so far. Hmmm, not bad! I check out other websites like this one, and they gave it mostly a high % with positive reviews. They don't mention this one by the way...and now I'm figuring out why. I see the audience 'exit poll' results and the movie got mostly A and A+s from people leaving the theatre. Hmmm... Then I look at the awards and find it got the best Action Movie awards from the People's Choice Awards and Gal Gadot got best female lead award from the Actors Guild awards, among others. So l come over to this website and start with the reviews, and all I see is bunch of whining about how folks can't believe this movie was rated so high on here and why they think this website is rigged, etc. etc. etc. Then I figured it out; This website either exists in an alternate reality, or it has a bunch of angry, bitter, depressed people reviewing on it that can't stand the idea that people actually ENJOY sitting down with a bag of chips and dip with your family after a hard week at work, kicking your shoes off, building a fire in the fireplace, and watching a great action movie to enjoy themselves. Because...uh, that's what NORMAL people do! It's a pretty simple word we're working with here, it's called entertainment! I don't sit down with a pen and paper and start crucifying a movie because it's not Lord of the Rings or Citizen Kane. Is this the BEST movie I've ever seen?...no Do you have to suspend belief?...uh, don't you have to do that with every stinkin movie of this genre?..yes It's a great action movie with great Special Effects and there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the acting! Chris Pine and Gal Gadot do just fine. The story is just fine. Everything about this movie is just fine. I keep thinking that I'm done coming to this website, but I felt I had to stand up for this movie against some of the garbage I've read folks spew about it. I'm beginning to think that this website exists in an alternate reality or something, or maybe it's just got a core of reviewers that review movies that are...well, different or something. I don't know... But do yourself a favor and ignore the negative reviews on here and enjoy this movie that the rest of the normal world thought was pretty good...including me.

From all the superhero films, this was one of the most anticipated. Mainly because of the woman oriented theme. People were desperate to see the solo woman superhero. Today, we have the great visual effects technology, that anything can be possible to bring on to the screen. And actress like Gal Gadot, even better it gets. Yes, it was a wonderful film. A simple storyline, but a well made film.

The Amazonians who are cut off from the rest of the world, is preparing for the battle if Ares returns. All these years nothing has happened, but one day a fighter pilot crash on the cost of their island. Then the princess embark a journey back with him to find, and end the Ares threat forever. But she only ends up in the WWII, and what happens in the following sequence are the rest of the film.

Who would have done a better job than Patty Jenkins. She nailed it, and so set to direct the sequel too. Even the supporting cast was good. DC's visuals always high standards and so this one. Action sequences too amazing. There's lots of changes in the character, as well as in everything. Firstly a nice superhero costume. And connections like Diana's father, the island, all pretty nicely written out. The DC universe just got extended. I can't wait to see 'Justice League'.

8/10

For most people that go to the movies these days, they tend to keep a open mind to the tune of simple things; What will the movie bring? how will the director incorporate certain elements from comics to "real life" situations? etc etc For me, Wonder Woman turned out to be one of those movies. Something that comics (DC in this case) expressed in comic books and now have adapted to the big screen (minus the 60's television series and previous adaptations).

Wonder Woman tends to be more action packed at times while carrying to the original idea on how Wonder Woman came to be. Some crude humor made its way into the movie early on then hits you with a dose of sequences full of action and explosions.

For me it was worth watching but I'll probably wait till DC studios comes out with Justice League sometime soon.

The moment Diana Prince took her first spear tackle at evil in Batman Vs Superman threw a gauntlet at the feet of an entire generation of older movie-goers who's lingering impression of Wonder Woman was a soft, curvaceous and inherently feminine Linda Carter of the seventies. Spinning magic girl transformations have been replaced with a monstrous power that frankly woke me up in my seat. She was my lingering impression and my first taste of a DC that left me wanting more.

The Wonder Woman role has big shoes to fill and sadly the shoes themselves will give her a scrutiny male counterparts are not burdened with. Will they be sensible shoes, combat boots or heels? Gal Gadot's counter-argument is a role that is strong, personal and honest. Her tremendous power is counterbalanced with a naivety that reaches beyond comic relief into an often scathing critique of the human leanings toward inhumanity. She reminds us of a bigger picture by becoming a passionate observer of our frailty and in doing so, often exposes her own while retaining all of her strength. In this regard the role of Wonder Woman is an unprecedented success as she struggles to find herself as a person rather than her role as a female superhero.

Although aspects of female gender roles are present they develop in other characters. The mother, the amazon, the witch, the submissive - all present as people rather than stereotypes and the roster of strong performances delivers with a confidence that define these women with substance and a dignified strength while avoiding becoming lessons or cautionary tales in femininity.

I feel it as important to note that the male characters in this movie also avoid the same gender stereotypes. The men who marginalize her share the same disregard for all life. The men who initially sought to protect her - as we are taught to by our mothers and sisters - quickly fall behind her and support her strength. She is never forced to explain herself.

In a genre filled with movies about other movies or stories that build momentum for bigger stories to come it's refreshing to see a movie that delivers a strong tale, genuinely warm characters and manages to embarrass us with the lesson that genuinely strong and honest characters make our gender expectations irrelevant.

The DC Universe gets a powerful boost with Patty Jenkin's engaging, thrilling modern tribute to the Wonder Woman legend. The trailer did not do justice to this polished, beautifully rendered film with an uncommon heart, contrasting the increasingly tired, smug Marvel tone.

The British supporting cast add a deeper flair to the proceedings, with Lucy Davis and David Thewlis offering smart performances. Gal Gadot channels a mixture of innocence, strength, wisdom and humour which reminded me of Christopher Reeve in Superman (1978). The script gives her performance a spirit and urgency which the origin story frame allows to flourish. Chris Pine is equally fine, balancing a challenging mixture of humility and bravado that gives the film a distinct edge.

The parallels with Superman (1978) are particularly apt. Both films kick-started modern takes on legendary figures with colourful, exciting adaptations of origin stories. The actions sequences are intense, clever and filled with emotional resonance.

After beginning the film with adult Diana regaining possession of that old photo of her she so eagerly wanted in BvS, we flashback to Princess Diana as a child who yearns to be like the rest of the Amazons of Themyscira. Her mother, Hippolyta, is hesitant and hiding something from her, but eventually relents and commands her sister/Diana's aunt, Antiope, to train her to be better than the rest of the Amazons. She proves herself to be just that and so much more. After rescuing Steve Trevor, whose plane from World War I penetrates Themyscira's shield/cloak and crash-lands, their two worlds collide. After Steve's subjected to the Lasso of Truth (Pine's equal parts amusing and utterly believable when under its influence), Diana's convinced the Amazons' old enemy, Ares the God of War, is behind the war Steve speaks of and she travels back with him to help the world of man.

Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman was the stand-out in BvS, and here she proves the skeptics incorrect about that simply being a fluke due to her limited screen-time. This movie rests on her shoulders, and Gadot proves she's more than up to the task of portraying Diana as brave/courageous, intelligent, a warrior/'badass' and, most of all, deeply empathetic/compassionate (not just regarding people, but animals too). Her performance is, at times, even heartbreaking during the really emotional scenes. She's also capable of showing Diana's 'lighter' side, has good comedic timing/delivery of lines (one example being when she discovers ice cream) and is just so warm/likable, endearingly earnest but genuine. Everything a hero should be.

Chris Pine's Steve is far more likable than his Kirk. He does a lot with what could've been a thankless role. Like Diana, Steve is honourable, brave and proves himself a hero. He helps Diana adjust to being in a new world, teaching/explaining things to her, but is never condescending towards her. Both actors 'click', especially in the boat scene on their way to London. They have an easy chemistry; their banter is fun and Steve/Diana's respective fish-out-of-water scenarios are amusing without being silly. They show respect for one another, neither one is ever portrayed 'negatively' to 'prop up' the other (even when they argue), and it's one of the only comic book movie romantic pairings (that's been developed over the course of just one movie) which I've found truly believable.

Steve's secretary, Etta Candy, also provides some humour, though thankfully not so much that she ever becomes annoying. She takes an instant liking to Diana (and you can see why), while Diana respects her in return. Steve's other trusted reinforcements only get a small amount of screen-time each, but feel like proper characters with depth/flaws. The camaraderie that forms between them and Diana is *earned* and believable.

On the villains' side, there's Danny Huston's Ludendorff, who represents everything that's made the Amazons wary of man. He provides Diana with a decent adversary/someone you really want to see her kick the arse of. Also really good is Elena Anaya as Dr. Maru aka 'Doctor Poison'. I've been impressed with her previously in movies such as The Skin I Live In, and although she's acting with nearly half her face covered by a mask, she manages to convey much more than the typical henchperson. She shares one scene with Steve where I even felt for her (Pine does well in this scene too, and especially in his final scene of the movie). I was happy to see there be a moment between her character and Diana, and that they weren't simply pitted against each other in the typical 'female vs female fight' sort of way.

Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright and the rest of the Amazons are only in the beginning of the movie, but they're all good in their roles, with Nielsen's Hippolyta probably being the best. At times it might be understandable why Diana's so frustrated with her, but you believe their love for each other (as well as all the Amazons) and understand why Hippolyta's so protective/secretive. At first David Thewlis feels underutilized as Sir Patrick, who helps Diana/Steve, but proves a wise casting choice later on, when he's given more to do/work with.

The music throughout the film packs an emotional punch, and those worried about 'overuse' of the awesomely memorable Wonder Woman theme which we got a taste of in BvS and this movie's trailers needn't worry, it's only used sparingly/at the right times, mostly during the epic fight scenes. Speaking of, this movie manages to give us something different with the hero's style of fighting. Her use of sword, shield, and bullet-deflecting bracelets, as well as the Lasso of Truth, makes for some stunning/inventive action sequences.

Regarding complaints of 'too much CGI' during the climax, given who was fighting who and the power at their disposal, the effects on display were justified. The Wonder Woman costume doesn't get enough credit for being true to the comics character whilst also being functional (no star-spangled panties for her!) and non-gratuitous/non-exploitative. The first time she shows it off in the 'No Man's Land' sequence is very memorable/one of the movie's best scenes. Diana's other costumes are also gorgeous, as is Themyscira ('Paradise Island' indeed), and the film feels like a classic action/adventure movie. It's well-paced, got loads of heart, and is indeed one of the best comic book movies in LONG time.

Naturally, it'll have its detractors/nitpickers, but this is one movie where the hype is warranted/to be believed. It's everything I've been waiting/wanting to see in a superhero movie for so long. This isn't just easily the best DCEU movie so far, it's not simply an excellent superhero movie, and it's not only a triumph for the first major female-led superhero movie/first big screen adaptation of Wonder Woman, it's an enthralling cinema-going experience, the best movie I've seen this year so far and one of the best movies in recent memory.

For the first female superhero movie in a while, I was pretty excited. I didn't go with massive expectations, I just wanted an action movie with a relatively good story and bearable characters. All I got was a cliché love story centered around awkward, teenager-like interactions between a headstrong woman and a not so headstrong man who is trying to keep said headstrong woman in check, but failing... you know, typical chick flick nonsense. Oh, and throw in a COUPLE of cringey, "girl power" fight scenes that include Wonder Woman constantly throwing sexy shade at the camera. Yawn...

Wonder Woman is the rise to form that the DC Extended Universe so desperately needed. It follows the typical origin story formula, but it's more coherently paced and stabilizes the tone much more intelligently than the previous DCEU installments. Gal Gadot nails the role of Wonder Woman with a deft balance of headstrong charisma and comical innocence. The action is stylized and wickedly entertaining, and Diana's naive interactions with real world customs (especially during a time period where women were looked down upon) make for some clever comedic relief. The first act was kinda bland with little exploration and inventiveness put into Diana's home-world, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Wonder Woman. It renewed my faith in the DCEU and I pray that the filmmakers continue to learn from their past flaws and produce even better spectacles in the coming years.

Overall, taken at face value, Wonder Woman is better than the average superhero film on a few levels.This was refreshing to watch simply because nothing in it felt like they were trying too hard. The movie flowed smoothly from start to finish, and the ending was (if over-dramatic) definitely the pay-off you were waiting for.

It's a fun popcorn flick that has the ability to make any little girl watching it feel empowered.

Gal Gadot did an amazing job as Wonder Woman. The film was a little slow paced at times and left confusing messages over the power of the Amazonian's - when you see the ending and how Wonder Woman's true powers are sparked. The leading man in the film was a bit of a 'meh' performance, someone else could have played the part with a little less spunk and a little more complimenting presence. Good, solid but not amazing.

Wonder Woman tells the story of Diana(Gal Gadot), princess of the Amazons of Themyscira. Before she became Wonder Woman, she was a trained warrior. A pilot named Steve Trevor(Chris Pine), crash lands on the island of Themyscira. Diana finds out about the war that mankind is waging. She leaves home, decides to fight in the war & embraces her true destiny.

Wonder Woman is an awe-inspiring movie. Director Patty Jenkins has done complete justice to this iconic character. The visual effects are spectacular. The action set pieces are mind blowing. All the action scenes, are even more exciting in 3D. The cinematography by Matthew Jensen is gorgeous. Both Themyscira(these portions were shot in Italy) & London look breathtaking. The humor in the film is refreshing, after the lack of humor in previous DC Extended Universe efforts like, Man of Steel(2013) & Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice(2016). I'm so relieved that they didn't mess this up like the previous two female-led superhero outings, Catwoman(2004) & Elektra(2005). This movie is picture perfect, right from the first scene till the last scene. Gal Gadot is outstanding as Diana. Gadot steals the show with her masterful portrayal, of the most famous female superhero in the world. Chris Pine is brilliant as Steve Trevor. Connie Nielsen is excellent as Hippolyta. Robin Wright is fantastic as Antiope. Danny Huston is impressive as Ludendorff. David Thewlis is superb as Sir Patrick. Said Taghmaoui, Ewen Bremner, Eugene Brave Rock & Lucy Davis are awesome as Sameer, Charlie, The Chief & Etta, respectively. Elena Anaya is amazing as Dr. Maru. Lilly Aspell is adorable as Young Diana(8). Wonder Woman is a must watch for everyone. Go & celebrate this wonder of a woman! I'm waiting with bated breath for Justice League(2017).

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie and liked it. They did well by delving into the legend (although playing loosely with some mythology). Still, the movie was entertaining and Gadot effective. After hating Batman vs Superman, this was a relief. I hope DC's future offerings will be more like this and less like some of the weaker ones. One weakness of this movie was where they treated the WWI Germans as if they were Nazis. Great historical weakness there as there were huge differences between the First and Second World Wars.

Seeing that much criticism on this movie, makes me cry. This is absolutely the best superhero movie by far ,and the closest one to get an oscar nomination. I don't know why uso much people are embarrassing themselfs with their coments. MUST WATCH MOVIE!

Maybe, one of the most inspired films about WWI. and one of the most impressive Wonder Woman performances. because it has the best plot, the director, the actors . I say that without be a fan of Marvel universe and defining the super-heroes of series as "American culture stuffs". but this film has many virtues. first - a seductive perspective about near reality, bitter references, good pledge for fundamental values and , sure, Gal Gadot brilliant work. pieces of mithology and war. and a photo. as good start for a character who, in Superman vs. Batman was the not official lead character and who, in this film, gives more than a beautiful job.

A WWI battlefield, shrouded in gun smoke and war remains, is flanked by trenches of soldiers who've accepted their fate of spending the rest of their short lives in this hell. On one end, a powerful but naïve woman slowly emerges, armed with a shield, a sword and a bundle of conviction to put an end to all of it. In this one sure-to-be iconic moment, the world is (re-)introduced to its new favorite superhero. Wonder Woman, an unabashed woman-empowerment film, uses its pre-established muscle for good: to give us a blockbuster full of true excitement, true humor and true heart. Being a wartime-superhero film, we expect a certain quality of action, and this delivers; the beach attack on the island full of Amazon women is a slow-motion blast of flying and fighting. But what really soars is the script, filled with dialogue that surprisingly pops ("We can't fix the war, but we can try to get to the men who can." "I AM the men who can!"). Elements of fish-out-of-water, believable romance and confident humor are more than consistent enough to the small moments of predictability, corn and bad visual effects. I can't help but imagine: what if this was our introduction to the Justice League universe? Instead of the faux-complexity of the Superman entries or the offensive simplicity of Suicide Squad, we'd be setting the tone for the franchise with a film about the effects of violence, the insanity of war and whether humans are inherently good or evil. Either way, it's so great to report that DC has more than righted their course and made a genre film for the ages.

Boring, droll, predictable, unexciting, typical of all weak comic book movies, lots of action but little drama, plot, or compelling draw to the characters. Blah.

About my reviews: I do not offer a synopsis of the film -- you can get that anywhere and that does not constitute a meaningful review -- but rather my thoughts and feelings on the film that hopefully will be informative to you in deciding whether to invest 90-180 minutes of your life on it.

My scale: 1-5 decreasing degrees of "terrible", with 5 being "mediocre" 6- OK. Generally held my interest OR had reasonable cast and/or cinematography, might watch it again 7 - Good. My default rating for a movie I liked enough to watch again, but didn't rise to the upper echelons 8- Very Good. Would watch again and recommend to others 9- Outstanding. Would watch over and over; top 10% of my ratings 10 - A Classic. (Less than 2% receive this rating)

Sorry but everyone who hated this movie needs to get over all the bulls. I usually get bored half way through a marvel film but I was gripped till the last minute! :) No its not the BEST film in the world but definatly worth a watch and I will be looking forward to seeing the 2nd film in 2019!!

This is a great film! Didn't think this would be something I would enjoy but thoroughly enjoyed. Don't know why people have rated as bad!? Great film would recommend!

If there was one thought to streak across my mind throughout the entire run-time of director Patty Jenkins' long-awaited cinematic adaptation of the iconic comic-book character "Wonder Woman", it's a simple word... redemption. This is the first film in DC's struggling Extended Universe to live up to the promise of its comic-book origins. There have been hints at brilliance here and there, but the three previously released films have all ultimately faltered and fallen flat due to their own numerous issues and contrivances and infuriating focus on convoluted style over substance. Not so with "Wonder Woman"... this is the first film in the entire series that places all of it's focus on delivering a charming, thrilling and entertaining film foremost, where the style is dictated by the story, and not the other way around.

If you've grown tired of waiting for the next great DC cinematic adventure. If like me and many others, previous releases like "Batman V Superman" and "Suicide Squad" left you feeling empty and angry and underwhelmed. If you were worried that the DCEU would just be a constant exercise in misery and tedium... your hopes for something better- something good- have been fulfilled with the absolutely delightful "Wonder Woman." It's not a perfect film, mind you. It's uneven at times and suffers the same one-dimensional villains that have plagued the similar Marvel Cinematic Universe. But it is a promise of better things to come in the future, and is not only by and far the best the DCEU has to offer at this point... it's just a darned good film in its own right.

On the island of Themyscira, Diana (Gal Gadot) lives in peace, princess of a tribe of Amazon warriors created by the great Greek Gods to protect humanity from the clutches of Ares- God of War. However, the human world soon enough intrudes on Diana's idyllic life when American Spy Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crash-lands near her home and she and the other Amazon warriors are told of the "Great War" that is taking place- World War I. Diana goes against her mother's wishes and leaves the island with Steve, hoping that in helping him on his mission to stop a deadly chemical attack by the German army, she will be able to confront Ares and put an end to all war. But at what cost will her daring mission come?

The great success of "Wonder Woman" comes in large part from its simplicity and keen storytelling. It doesn't venture into needlessly lofty and overstuffed (and half-baked) themes and sequel-baiting as has been the case with previous installments of the DC franchise, but instead just tries its hardest to be a competent, concise and entertaining origin story. And that's why it succeeds. Director Jenkins and screenwriter Allan Heinberg smartly concentrate on the fundamentals of character establishment and development above all else, while also giving the film a great deal more personality than has been evident in previous films. With razor-sharp writing, top-notch action set pieces and a constant and appropriate sense of humor that keeps the chuckles coming, you'd be hard pressed not to find yourself grinning ear-to- ear throughout the entire film.

The cast is also just a ton of fun. Gadot was by and far the best element in the otherwise sloppy "Batman V Superman", but she wasn't given much to do. Here, she absolutely shines and proves herself more than worthy to call herself "Wonder Woman." She's got the dramatic chops to handle the heavier moments, the light-hearted whimsy to perfectly land the film's many delightful "fish out of water" gags... and she just kicks major butt! I can't wait to see her again on the big-screen. I also quite enjoyed Pine in his supporting role. It's a bit of a standard character, but he gives it the same wonderful personality he's injected to so many other roles. And supporting parts played by the likes of Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen and Saïd Taghmaoui are all exceptionally well-cast and performed.

This praise all being said, the film does have some rather large issues that I feel are being generally overlooked. Especially with the film being as hyped up and over-politicized as it has been. Funnily enough, the film suffers a major issue that also desperately plagues many films of their rival studio Marvel- the villains are weak. Pathetic even. Despite having the delightful duo of Danny Huston and Elena Anaya portraying them, the villainous Erich Ludendorff and "Doctor Poison" are frankly laughable at times, coming off as so stock as to be ridiculous. At times they even feel like they're in a completely different (and far inferior) film. I know I can't be the only one to cringe when they repeatedly use the old trope of "villain kills an associate to show he's a threat" several times to increasingly hilarious results. In addition, the film is a bit uneven as it reaches its midway point, with several key characters from the first act seemingly vanishing and some plot-threads being abandoned for prolonged periods of time. It's a bit distracting. You know the film is capable of so much more.

But despite these complaints, I can't help but whole-heartedly recommend "Wonder Woman." It's just such a breath of fresh air for this particular franchise thanks to its smart filmmaking and fantastic performances. I was worried before the film came out. Because I will fully admit I have not enjoyed a single other film in the DC Extended Universe to this point, and I was fearing that "Wonder Woman" would deal one last fatal blow to the franchise. But it did just the opposite... it revitalized it in the best of ways. And I would favorably compare it to other great superhero origins of the past 10 years, and say it's one of my favorite Summer action films of 2017 thus far.

"Wonder Woman" gets a very good 8 out of 10.

We were always going to watch Wonder Woman, but figured we'd catch it when it came out on Blu-Ray. After the commercials claiming "certified fresh" from Rotten Tomatoes" i decided to take the wife to see if for her Birthday! As soon as it ended, the wife turned to me and asked, as she always does, what did you think? I didn't even hesitate, and responded, "IT SUCKED!" From the story line to the acting, it didn't satisfy at any level! Not for me, not for the wife. This movie is such a disappointment.

Don't listen to the people who obviously didn't see the movie. Any review that says Gal Gadot can't act... Is flat out lying and fake. I'll admit, I wasn't a fan of Gal at first, but this movie changed my mind.... BIG time. She is WONDERFUL!!! She is Wonder Woman and anyone who has REALLY seen the film agrees. I'm so tired of this stupid bias stuff. We can like both Marvel and DC and the world will be just fine. Beware of the Marvel Shrills who hate on everything DC. Go see this movie for yourself. Great action, Drama, humor, and story. Diana Prince and Steve Trevor or the absolute best on screen superhero relationship since Lois and Clark from the original Superman movie back in the day. In fact, Diana and Steve's relationship is just as exciting and enjoyable as the action scenes!!! I loved it!

To quote a popular Internet Age meme: WHAT THE F*** DID I JUST WATCH?! More pertinently: WHY IS THIS FILM BEING (i) SHILLED FOR, AND (ii) WHY DOES IT GARNER AVERAGE SCORES IN THE HIGH 7's HERE AT IMDb AND 90%+ AT RT...?!

I never before thought much of the whole "feminazi" or "SJW" conspiratorial take on how social engineering is said to be taking place―through the agency of entertainment, its content and subsequent promotion. However, 'Wonder Woman' has caused this reviewer to stop and take pause. For this film is one, woeful pile of garbage (even in the context of a comic book schlock), that should be given a Razzie for its crimes against the filmic medium; not garner ridiculously unwarranted praise.

From its horrid casting and barely passable acting (was Gal Gadot away sick during the 'acting module' of her JIDF training tenure?), to its amateurish stunt work and ensuing overuse of CGI effects―necessitated in an attempt to futilely smear over the the film's said substandard chop-socky / pew-pew sequences―Wonder Woman is one of the worst, if not THE worst comic book film I have ever had the displeasure of running afoul of.

From go to wow, the film is an aural and visual 'turd de faeces'. There is so little to redeem a film like this, that one must wonder what was going through the minds of those who crafted it: Did they watch the dailies? Did the actors have any input in the creative process, whatsoever? Was it all "green screened"...? Surely this was all filmed blind... blind drunk, that is!

Even for those pushing the film as an empowering vehicle for female actors ― they have very little to grasp at here. The male "co-star" (Chris Pine) is given the bulk of the film's der-dumb dialogue; thus, insultingly relegating the titular character to playing second fiddle. So much so, in fact, that for most part, Gadot's role arguably fails the very 'Bechdel test' the film (and those who champion it) strove to emancipate the yoke of. Of course, this must all be tempered with what the director and screen-writers had at their disposal (with respect to acting clout), which was patently very, very little (*assuming the drivel was not all spouted ad libitum ― a suggestion not as fanciful as it might normally seem).

In short: The dialogue was stilted. The interactions wooden. Obligatory "love" sceNE (*singular), ham-fistedly shoehorned and cringe-worthy to bear. Little character development to speak of. Barely a thread of connection was established between viewer and the characters they were meant to invest in. The acting was sub par, at best... A literal failure on every, objective, filmic measure. Even rusted-on Wonder Woman fans would struggle to find tenable arguments for the existence of this film, in the egregious form that it has been rendered.

I normally do not write reviews for films of this shabby stock--in any capacity. However, given the hubbub surrounding 'Wonder Woman' and its association with "the women's movement", I felt compelled to throw my 2¢ worth into this well of bubbling, fetid waste. For I feel we must speak out against blatant shilling for that which patently does not deserve it on merit; and we must fight against the inclination to 'grade on a curve', that has gripped our societies since the advent of the Internet.

Moreover, the 'process factory' structure that the industry applies to the production of films in this genre, all but guarantees one schlock after another. These films are clearly produced only to make money. As such ― given money inherently corrupts all that it comes into contact with ― the end results are fait accompli. This is not a propitious philosophical model, nor a mindset anyone should advocate for.

This race to the bottom, which we are embarked upon, does a disservice, not only to the art form, but also to wider culture and society.

Wonder Woman is not the female-helmed comic book film you were looking for. Move on.

Wonder Woman was not created by Aphrodite or Zeus, but was rather the brain-child of a controversial psychologist and inventor, William Moulton Marston. (Marston's other claim to fame is the invention of the lie detector.) Although Superman and Batman were selling well to kids, there was a wave of pseudo-psychology which claimed that comic books were poisoning the minds of impressionable youths. Detective Comics (later renamed DC) were frightened that these radical groups were influencing the voting public which might hire lawmakers to ban comic books altogether. DC hired Marston to address this problem. Rather than changing existing comic books, Marston offered an unexpected solution: make a female superhero, i.e. a super-heroine. The result was Wonder Woman.

Little did DC comics know Marston had been involved in the early suffragette and birth-control movements of the early 20th century, and he incorporated much of the iconography and symbolism into the comic book. Wonder Woman's looks was originally a hybrid of the Varga pin-up girl posters of the 1940's and Suffragettes of the early 20th century. For example, Wonder Woman's early adventures often involved her being chained, an icon used by feminists and suffragettes in the early 20th century in propaganda posters and political illustrations. When chained, Wonder Woman loses her powers. Her magic lasso compels the person being lassoed to tell the truth, an obvious reference to Marston's lie detector. The comic was an instant hit and even became iconic for the Women's Liberation Movement of the 1970's.

Fast-forward to 2017. Patty Jenkins has directed an outstanding film on a screenplay by Allan Heinberg from a story by Heinberg, Zack Snyder and Jason Fuchs based on the DC Comics character. Starring Gal Gadot as the title character and Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, this superhero action film flies as fusing of Ancient mythology and human history, and the offering is one of the best of the genre since the original "Superman" film starring Christopher Reeve (1979). Like "Superman", "Wonder Woman" begins with the backstory of the title character. Her name is Diana, daughter of Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nelson) and she lives on Paradise Island where only women reside whose culture is a throw-back to Ancient Greek mythology. (Paradise because there are no men to screw things up...?) Diana as a youth is taught by the best combat teacher of the island, General Antiope (Robin Wright) in the ways of combat and becomes the best among her peers.

Sticking to the origins, Captain Steve Trevor, an American spy working for the British, is being chased by Germans during the First World War and crashes off the coast of Paradise Island. He has in his possession plans written by Dr. Poison (a real character from DC Comics). After a confrontation between Amazons and the Germans, Trevor is taken in by the Amazons and forced to reveal who and what he is. Eventually, Diana decides she must go with Trevor back to "the world of men" and help stop the war. Her reasons are mythological in which she must stop the "God of War". Of course Trevor doesn't buy into Diana's myth story but plays along to get back to the war. They sail by boat back to London.

One of the best sequences is Diana's introduction to early 20th century society. Gadot offers an excellent performance as the slightly culture-shocked fish-out-of-water but never overplays it. She tries on a pouffe dress which definitely wouldn't be "Wonder Woman". Eventually, she dons a suitable outfit and signs onto a mission with Trevor and several marginal characters to stop a fatal gas attack which makes the mustard gas of the war seem like the steam from a sauna. The inventor is Doctor Isabel Maru, a.k.a. Dr. Poison who has been supported by General Ludendorff. (In fact Ludendorff was a real general in the First World War and was involved in Hitler's so-called Beer Hall Putsch to overthrow the German government in 1923.) The mission is not sanctioned by the war office of London but in secret with only one member of Parliament offering assistance, Sir Patrick Morgan (David Thewlis). This merry band of misfits, a woman who knows nothing about western society and culture, a Scottish drunk, a Native American pacifist, an Italian actor, and an American spy make their way to the front lines of the First World War.

An outstanding film all around with excellent performances and a good balance between story and action. The filmmakers made the decision to withhold Diana becoming "Wonder Woman" until nearly half-way into the film, similar to "Superman". One of the best decisions: she never says "I'm Wonder Woman". A superhero speaking his or her name is a fatal screenplay error made by many other screenwriters who shall remain nameless.

Wonder Woman is great! When the first trailer was released I was quite pumped already. I've always liked Wonder Woman and it was great to finally see her in the silver screen with today's effects and all.

Wonder Woman is a great hero. She's strong, intuitive, and tough while still being both compassionate and kind which was essential to her original character; and this movie keeps true to that. Diana in this movie has those same characters and Gal Dadot's performance was very believable.

The movie is essentially an origin story which can be hit or miss. The DC Extended Universe movies have not been well received at all, but more on this later. The movie's color scheme is quite clever, showing the island Diana grew up on as a very bright and beautiful with everything outside of it being dark and dreary. It captures the intensity and grit of war, especially the time it takes place in, World War I. There's even a scene where they go into the trenches and it's quite authentic. There isn't a single filler character, even the side characters of the group of soldiers she links up with are entertaining and add a lot of flavor to the movie. My only nitpick is that the music seemed all over the place.

This is also a great return for DC movies. As I mentioned before recent DC movies, such as "Man of Steel", "Batman V Superman" and "Suicide Squad" (a movie I actually liked for just how fun it was) weren't greatly reciprocated and for good reasons. But "Wonder Woman" nails everything that DC movies in the past were great: balancing comedy and intensity. The movie doesn't have that many comedic moments towards the end but it does have that balance very well in the beginning and the movie benefits because of it.

In the end, I highly recommend this film. I feel that it's one most people should enjoy, especially those who have been disappointed by DC movies over the past couple of movies.

One word: WONDERful. Wonder Woman came to save the DCEU. It is a truly perfect film, a round movie from beginning to end that has its closure. It's even one of the best movies ever made. As the story goes many years before the other films doesn't need to leave loose ends or references to connect them with the rest of the universe. The origin is counted in the first half hour; in the island of Themyscira the scenes are quite colorful with a very beautiful tone, unlike what we were showing the previous films, although the plot is short and the characters don't appear much; Antiope (Robin Wright) is spectacular & Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) also does a good job. When England is shown the colors become tenuous (by the tone of the war) engaging the rest of movies; Diana (Gal Gadot) & Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) make an excellent dynamic duo, with good chemistry, charisma and companionship, have a kind of romance & complicity: pure dynamite. The dynamic reminds us of Richard Donner & Christopher Reeve's Superman, the serious drama tone to Tim Burton & Michael Keaton's Batman. Ludendorff (Danny Huston) is a transitional German villain for the plot but it's necessary; Doctor Poison (Helena Anaya) works as a villain, & the final fight with the hidden villain, Ares, is good but it lasts a very short time. If Patty removes that plot, the film stands alone because Diana fighting the Germans is delightful. The tape has a truly altruistic heroism & heart; Justice, freedom & hope; What Man Of Steel should have been. Excellent action scenes, very good choreography and very good production work. The soundtrack is exciting.

All in the name of discovery , of ourselves. How love can change a persons perspective of our surroundings , our environment our way of living. How we all have the power to right a wrong/evil or sit and watch and do nothing , as a great man , once said. Great story line , accompanied with great visual effects culminating in a climatic finale. Lynda Carter as the original Wonder Woman I hope is proud to represented in such a positive light. This is my opinion , I hope others will read this and give it a fair go.

I'm glad they finally brought Wonder Woman to the big screen. I became a fan of Wonder Woman when I watched the Lynda Cater version on TV as a kid. Wonder Woman sure has come a long way. I just love the costume they made for her, it's militaristic yet still feminine. And Gal Gadot rocks in the role, she's hot (for one thing!) and projects a lot of strength and courage. There is non-stop excitement in this film! The action scenes are amazing, but I'm glad they found time to squeeze in some character building in between the awesome fights scenes. I like how Wonder Woman is like a fish out of water when she first arrives in industrialized 1918 London. I found it interesting that they set the story during World War I instead of World War II. Though I wish they explained how on Earth can the Amazons speak English when they have cloistered themselves in Themiscyra for thousands of years and English did not even exist before they took refuge on the island. A great blockbuster movie overall, if you are a Wonder Woman fan or a fan of super heroes (or heroines) in general, you will enjoy this movie!

Seeing this again... man (or woman)... I want to rate this even higher for the parts I like, even for the opening on Themyscyra (sic) because I bought in even more to the emotion of how it was played so straight by the actors and staged by Jenkins. Gal Gadot is the new Christopher Reeve, and in her own way even more badass because of how much she makes Diana a force to be reckoned with while keeping so much vulnerability just under the surface. She and Chris Pine are a wonderful 30's or 40's rom com couple, though more adorable due to Diana's mix of awkwardness and strength, often in the same breath.

.... But that climax is still not impressive on a technical level. I don't even mean how the conflict has to come to a head, I get all of that, and I even liked the I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE (cue guitar lick) moment because Jenkins is not only not afraid of cheese she doesn't know what the word means, but it connects with the key theme of the movie. I know so many of the final battle scenes or fights that happen with these comic book movies have been called bullshit but a) there were less than zero stakes because (Spoiler) we know Wonder Woman doesn't succumb to evil because of her appearance in the previous DC movie that takes place 100 years after this one (and I so wish it didn't exist due to the continuity errors it places with this), and b) the CGI is laughable, with David Thewlis (who you ALL owe it to yourselves to see on Fargo s.3) not being good at turning total evil HAM.

So in short: the parts I liked before I liked a little or a lot more (the 'No Man's Land' is the one part, mostly when Diana first appears, that, just iconography-wise, is cool), and the parts I didn't I felt so, so, so embarrassed. Hence this review and half a star bump. It's also the best DC comic book movie since Batman Begins. So there.

It goes without saying that dark comedy is very difficult to accomplish. I would almost say it's harder to pull off than regular comedy because you need to be able to keep people invested in the dramatic aspect of the film, while still keeping them laughing throughout the majority of the duration. Director Martin McDonagh has matured as a filmmaker over the years, starting off with In Bruges, which was pretty much a flat-out comedy, to Seven Psychopaths, which placed him a little further into the spotlight, but I must admit that Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is not only his best film to date, but also one of the best films I've received the pleasure of witnessing all year. From laughter to genuine tension and heart, this is a film that's pretty much perfect all around. Here is why I can recommend this film to everyone.

After the tragic death of her daughter, Mildred Hayes calls out the local authorities on three billboards, publicly stating that they're not doing their jobs and not a single arrest has happened since the death of her daughter. While publicly displaying this is upsetting to some, she sees it as a point being made. Through some very cleverly written humor throughout the entire film, levity is brought to the table in times of sorrow, making this a very easy movie to watch. Although the story itself is quite depressing, this film is written in a way that will still find a way to make you smile.

I was generous giving it a 5 out of 10. There were 3 action scenes and the last scene was the best...and it was the end of the movie!

Why the hype? Why the praise? It was boring for over an hour! Yes, you need story build-up...but NOT THAT MUCH!

Disappointed in this so-called blockbuster when there are many better movies that are getting poor reviews!

There was a lot of pressure put on this movie to deliver. and BOY did it deliver! The film covers the origin story of Wonder Woman to present day, spending the majority of the film split between her isolation on Paradise Island, and WWI Europe. The film gives all characters - even the "minor" ones have some character development and depth.

Gal Gadot was BORN for this role! Chris Pine was superb as Steve Trevor.

If you enjoyed the trailers you will love the film! Patty Jenkins has put her stake in the ground. this is the NEW standard for superhero movies- MCU should take notice!

I NEVER give 10/10, because no film can ever be perfect - but this is close!

Whatever Patty Jenkins makes next - I shall watch!

Finally we get a half-decent movie from the DCEU. Compared to the last installments, it's probably the best. But that's not saying much.

To this movies credit, I gotta say that it has an honest heart. it's the first time that they actually feel honest about a movie. This one is not trying to elevate Wonder Woman to something unrealistic (considering the character that she is), it's very grounded, and overall a very enjoyable dumb summer movie.

Having said that. It's not perfect. Like I said. It's dumb, but with a heart. The acting is OK for the most part (even though Robin Wright's helmet thing looked embarrassing and was hard to take her performance seriously just for that). Gal Gadot was OK, Chris Pine was OK. The rest of the cast was kind of there. The plot was a lazy combination of Thor and the first Captain America movie. Pretty dull in my opinion. The way the plot moves is very dumb and most of the conflict is avoidable if some characters would just listen, otherwise they look very stupid, even if the outcome was the same, giving them some common sense would have given them some substance. It just didn't happen, but I give that to the lazy writing. The villain was uninspiring, not a big surprise for this kind of movie, so you know that it comes with lazy CG and motivation. He just serves to have a super claustrophobic final battle filled with explosions and stuff. One kind of head scratching moment for me was that Wonder Woman was trying to avoid the greatest and most violent conflict ever: WWI. So the stakes seem stupid when you know that WWII was way worse and knocking on the door. We are obviously not going to see her react to that. With a big dope face realizing that the war she thought was the worse was pretty much the beginning.

Oh, and the music. I hate it for the most part. I hate her theme. It's way too manipulating and forced.

The things that I would have liked this movie to be are way to many to be listed here. So I leave it at: it was OK, not great, kind of good, very stupid and face-palming. but nothing as sinful as Suicide Squad. And to it's credit it's the first time a DCEU movie actually makes more or less sense.

And to address those who believe that there is a big presence of quality on the film. No, there is not. It's just the first movie from the DCEU that is not complete S H I T. That doesn't make it good.

Wonder Woman is a solid Redbox rental. That is all.

I will elaborate. Slow, cliché driven, anti climatic and over all transparent. I saw nothing of it before sitting in the theater. The big reveal, ARES, was obvious from the tone and setting of his first scene.

They made the main reveals painfully clear from the onset. What set Diana apart from the other Amazons, Ares, a relationship predestined for a tragic end, all of it was instantly recognizable. No surprises, whatsoever.

There were numerous, poor attempts at humor. Which seems to be a trade mark for DC films.

I struggled to stay awake for the first half hour, until Diana snuck off with bae to the world of Man and even then, it had minimal entertainment value.

We watch Diana discover (and to her credit, Gal Gadot did make it seem more, or less, authentic) how the world was outside of the borders of her home land and fail to blend in. Though, "blending in" never seemed to be a high priority for her. She was SINGULARLY driven to kill ares. Which she did, very anti-climatically. Poor writing at it's finest.

Diana Prince is a very one dimensional character. Which, to be honest, embodies the whole mythos of Wonder Woman, perfectly. So, I am not sure I can use that as a detraction. As the character was faithfully represented.

Oh, and the on screen deaths of important characters were, more or less, pointless and apathetic. We had no reason to care for them, at all. Tertiary character development was even worse than for primary characters. Shakespeare, this was not.

I have more criticism, but it would be beating a dead horse after saying the characters are undeveloped, the movie is slow paced and the ending leaves much to be desired.

Now for the highlights.

Gal Gadot nailed the role. (and is gorgeous.)

The sometimes hokey CG and fight scenes don't really detract from the over all high quality of production for the film. It was certainly done well.

It was slightly more entertaining than Captain America: The First Avenger. Granted, that's not a high bar to jump, but if Cap can get 3 movies, I expect WW to get at least that many. (despite the lack luster first outing)

Gal Gadot is gorgeous! Did I already mention that? Oh well, it deserves to be said again. I spent more time entertained by close up shots of her face, than everything else combined.

Note: I found it funny that the entire Amazon race (those who spoke) had to learn Gal Gadot's accent, rather than simply teaching Gal Gadot to have an American accent. I suppose it had to be done, since she was already in BvS with the accent. However, with all the flaws of this film, picking on the accent seems petty.

Overall, it's a 6 out of 10. I will watch it again, but on red box. I only give it a 1 star rating, because many over hyped it and decided it was the best movie, ever and it certainly was not. Also Gal Gadot is incredibly gorgeous. Have I said that before? Ahhh, well...it can't be over stated.

What can i say that isn't vulgar and crude? I rarely mark a film with a single star but this seems to have no redeeming features whatsoever. This film was a phenomenal disappointment.

Im a big fan of the superhero genre and was hoping this was going to be a great addition - especially as there is a great need for a strong female lead. Unfortunately this film fails at every level. Even the special/visual effects were a let down.

Coming as a spin-off from The Batman v Superman film and leading us into the Justice League franchise I expected a mature direction. However this seems to be aimed at the socially awkward 'Twilight' generation of angst ridden teenagers!

Both Gadot and Pine were wasted here. The dialogue and screenplay were sub-par and cringy. I have no experience writing either and while i may struggle to compose any kind of screenplay, I'm certain I could vastly improve the dialogue and character interaction. Even the direction seemed lacklustre and awry. I've no idea how they could get so many elements wrong without getting any right - even the law of averages seems to have failed here!

Quite simply: AVOID

I really could not believe what I was watching because I had a very high expectation from this movie after seeing the reviews. Honestly, I could not finished the movie after one hour because it was way too slow and super boring. I really did not see anything special about the movie,same old boring story like other superhero movies. I really don't understand how come this movie has 7.9 rating on IMDb. I wish I can give it a negative star. I have not finish watching the movie and I don't want too. Its a total waste of time, and one of the worst movie of 2017. Extremely overrated.

I hate to say this but I am sitting in the movie as I wrote this and hoping beyond hope that the second half gets exciting. Chris Pine is outstanding as he usually is when he is the support. Gal Gadot is an extraordinary actress but her accent is slightly irritating but made up for by the fact that she is perhaps the most beautiful woman I have ever seen on screen. But back to the movie, it is just slightly boring. Just another run of the mill super hero recipe that gets more boring after each passing. I am angry with myself for not watching it from the download I made of it from the Pirate Bay but I was craving coke and popcorn. I am sorry but I refuse to be a party to these movie studios continuing to just roll stuff out because they have a captive audience. I will watch justice league from a mobile device for free and close that my anger is probably still high after watching that jack afflict defeat superman. Shame on these movie makers.

DC has finally set their foot in the right direction. Say what you want about the previous films, but I think we can all agree that they weren't as well received as they could have been. Now with "Wonder Woman" we have a good solid superhero story that's actually meaningful. Zack Snyder is not directing this time around, but his influence is still felt in the visual style of the explosive action scenes. Those parts are very entertaining, but they don't take center stage here. This film takes the time to introduce us to characters we can understand and care for. I think Patty Jenkins handled the emotional story nicely. I enjoyed the quite scenes as much as the exciting ones. It's about this one journey which makes it easy to follow. So it's not a very complicated film.

The scenery on the Amazonian island is breathtaking. Perfect use of locations. The ancient Greek mythology elements work surprisingly well. The idea of setting the world outside the Amazonian realm during WWI is good. It makes the fish out of water situation with Diana even more interesting, and above all it really helped her development. So that made sense. I will say this though: If you are well educated in history and you happen to know a lot about WWI, then you are gonna be annoyed by some things here. Because it doesn't stay completely true to how everything was back then. Some liberties were taken here and there. I'm not an expert on war history, but my brother is and I had to listen to many things that were inaccurate on the way home after the screening. So, sure. They should have gotten some more history consultants to revise the production. As a normal movie goer you probably won't even think about those things. But if you are a history buff then take note that this is pure fantasy/escapism. You won't be too bothered about historical inaccuracies if you go in with that mindset. I do think the villains were very stereotypical. Most of the time it works, but I would have preferred them not being so much like cartoon bad guys. The final fight gets really bloated and CGI heavy with many explosions. It's handled much better then how it was in "Batman v Superman", and I'll tell you why: It was focused. The entire movie balances the human story with the action spectacle well. And that gets a good positive point from me.

The main characters are likable here. There's not much I can add to what's already been said, but I strongly believe I'm seeing Wonder Woman on screen and not the actress Gal Gadot. She embodies this role with pride. Her chemistry with Chris Pine is great. There's some banter towards the end that gets repetitive, but other than that I liked it. The movie has a nice message as well. It's about working together and that love and compassion should never be forgotten. All of those things are nice. This movie has an upbeat vibe overall. It's kind of like a classic adventure movie and I like that. You will walk out feeling happy or maybe even a little inspired. That's a good sign that this will not be forgotten anytime soon. So, yes. I can now say that this a wonderful step forwards for DC. They have definitely improved a lot and I hope they continue like this.

What a big opportunity for DC to miss.This was supposed to be a memorable movie.It still actually will be as very disappointment.I don't wanna say every negative aspects of it.Some DC fans might nag me with their silly massages:).Anyway bottom line it is a Batman v Superman 2.0 movie.By the way the guy who played General Erich Ludendorff did a quite awful job.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that most of the really low reviews are written by anti-semitic bigots. I don't say that lightly, but with full knowledge of the faux controversy surrounding Gal Gadot's (an Israeli) casting as the lead. The truth is, this is an entertaining movie. You will enjoy it if you have enjoyed the Marvel movies or superhero movies in general. It has what the vast and overwhelming majority of moviegoers want. Action, laughs, feels and love. Also a hero that *gasp* isn't dark, ironic or edgy. Everyone in my family loves this movie. It's clean; it has no foul language and most importantly no blasphemy, nudity or sex. Is Gadot an Oscar- worthy actress? - no, but she works here. Does the CG get a bit muddy at the end? - Yup, but it diminishes the movie not a bit. Honestly, the worst thing about this movie is it's set in the same universe as the horrifically terrible DC movies "Batman VS Superman," "Man of Steel," and the upcoming and probably bad "Justice League."

i think the acting was bad. Even Gal Gadot was bad (and she looked bad, to my opinion, too). Everything was a cliché. The directing was without any zest or depth. Even the effects were 90's quality, except for a very few matrix-like style fighting scenes. A big piece of crap. i have no idea why many people liked it. Stop this word - i want out, idiots!

This movie sucked ... I did not enjoy it ... the CGI was horrendous ... Thank god i didn't pay to watch it ..The plot was weak ... the whole thing about love was cheesy ... The acting was OK but nothing wow ... I just did not enjoy watching this movie at all. I'm hoping that this fad for here movies will soon go away. I'm getting really tired of watching this rubbish.

For starters Please ignore the reviews by individuals giving it a 1- star rating. No movie can have a 1star rating unless there is natural hate for the movie due to personal reasons.

The movie shows us the origin of wonder woman and her experience of the Man's World. She is shown as a compassionate character yet ruthless and fierce when in battle. It gives the much-awaited reason of turning her back to the world of men.

The action is intense the Amazons are fearless and Wonder Woman is unstoppable.

DCEU has found its best movie yet. Snyders vision of the DCEU and Patty Jenkin's direction leads this movie to be one of the best female lead movies of all time.

For People who Liked BvS this will give you goosebumps and for other movie goers, this is definitely worth a watch.

This movie is fun, beautiful and has emotional elements. The characters are interesting and the action scenes are done very well. The story is intriguing and I am looking forward to the sequel. :)

This was really a waste. i don't know how this movie can get such a high rating.

This is beyond my imagination - but sometimes i wonder if its possible to cheat the IMDb system. Or a lot of people getting paid to give good ratings:) ;)

The whole social media (including the IMDb & Rotten Tomatoes review sections) is full of teenagers who rate this movie a 10 like this would be a similar quality movie as The Godfather or Pulp Fiction. Worse is that some newspapers reviewers also rated this movie as very good which is how you know they have been paid or that they are desperate to be politically correct!

Wonder Woman is full of nonsense, first of all why is the story set in WW 1 instead of the dark ages where it's outfit belongs ? Well, probably because the producers went to Israel to find a woman who can play this character , they could not find one in USA or Europe !? Why did they go to Israel for this woman (who cannot act or speak English)? Maybe because the action of the movie was set in WW1 and a Jewish woman fighting the Germans would be a symbolic message!

But Hollywood did not stop there with the symbolism, they used a real life German general name in this fictional movie: Ludendorff - a real German World War I general. They could have made up a name but Hollywood wanted to send a message!

Why not use the name Hitler since Hitler was a soldier in WW1 just like Ludendorff ! In fact General Ludendorff joined the NAZI party and helped Hitler get into power in Germany. The Israeli Gal Gadot kills this future NAZI general in the movie, see where this goes ? The movie if full of symbolism and metaphors!

A superhero movie should be placed in a SF universe, like Batman's city, not in actual human history where it changes it for the benefit of the American propaganda machine that Hollywood is !

And we did not even talk about the FEMINIST message in this movie, that's a totally different story.

The movie is Directed by a woman and is intended to be a big FEMINIST propaganda shock story aimed at teenagers. The feminist propaganda did not start today but now Hollywood makes FEMINIST movies on a scale not seen before.

There are many new feminist characters being prepared in their propaganda laboratories. In 2017 you have 'Proud Mary' which is a FEMINIST movies for black women, then there is 'Atomic Blonde' for white women. Last year we had 'Ghostbusters' with women and so many others. Over the years there were countless feminist movies in which women played Rambo style characters: Salt, Resident Evil, Electra, Tomb Raider etc yet somehow a lot of people discover the woman superhero just today! Really ?

It's like there is a contest with men, even if it looks unreal Hollywood wants to portray women capable of the same physical capabilities as men even though everybody knows this is not possible since normal women are not physically as strong as men

Mr & Mrs Smith was a feminist movie since the woman in that movie was meant to be as strong and capable as the man but at least we could enjoy that one because the acting was good and the script was OK, in Wonder Woman the script and the acting are garbage

Wonder Woman (2016) is a disaster of a movie but a great tool for the army of feminist propagandists out there

Wonder Woman has action, humor and heart, as well as strong performances across the board, especially from Gadot and Pine. DC desperately needed a hit and I think critics and fans can agree that Wonder Woman although not perfect, can definitely join the comic book hero top 10 list.(SORRY MARVEL FANBOYS)
